Noteochordodes Miralles and De Villalobos.</p> <p>Diagnosis</p> <p>Body colour varies from light brown to dark brown. Anterior end is slightly conical in shape. A white cap and a dark collar are not present. The male posterior end is undivided with a ventral groove. The cloacal opening is subterminal on the ventral side. The cloacal opening is oval and can be surrounded by bristles called circumcloacal bristles. Anterolateral of the cloacal opening are paired rows of scattered bristles. Posterior to the cloacal opening are short spine-like cuticular structures (Figure 2A).</p> <p>The posterior end of females is round and rather distended in its apex. The cloacal opening is round and terminal.</p> <p>The body cuticle contains one or two types of areoles. Areoles are arranged either isolated or grouped in two, three or more areoles. Areolar surface can be smooth or with a central depression. There are clusters of two areoles with a central tubercle between them; these areoles are not larger than the surrounding ones (Figure 5C). There are also isolated areoles very close to a tubercle with a round apex, placed laterally to the areole and not surpassing the areolar height (Figure 3D). Another constant characteristic in the cuticle of the species of the genus Noteochordodes is the presence of a very wide interareolar furrow crossed by cuticular cords where scattered minute spines or round apex tubercles can be found.</p> <p>Comments</p> <p>The genus Noteochordodes presents the male posterior end undivided, a characteristic shared with other genus of Gordiida such as Chordodes Creplin, 1847 (De Villalobos et al. 2004; De Villalobos et al. 2005; Zanca and De Villalobos 2005), Euchordodes Heinze, 1937 (Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. 1998), Lanochordodes Kirjanova, 1950 (Schmidt-Rhaesa 2002), Neochordodes Carvalho, 1942 (Miralles and De Villalobos 1996) Pseudochordodes Carvalho, 1942 (Carvalho 1942) and Spinochordodes Kirjanova, 1950 (Schmidt-Rhaesa 2001; Zanca and Schmidt- Rhaesa 2006). Additionally, Noteochordodes shows a cluster of two areoles with the central tubercle between them. This pattern has been described for other genus among gordiids (Schmidt-Rhaesa 2001) as in Chordodes (De Villalobos and Miralles 1997), Euchordodes (Schmidt-Rhaesa et al. 1998), Gordionus Müller, 1927 (Schmidt- Rhaesa 2001), Parachordodes Camerano, 1897 (Schmidt-Rhaesa 1997), Paragordionus Heinze, 1935 (Schmidt-Rhaesa 1997) and Pseudochordodes Carvalho, 1942 (Carvalho 1942). In spite of these similarities, Noteochordodes presents cuticular features with unique areolar types. There are one or two types of areoles both of which may be rounded or oval. In one type, the apical surface is depressed. Areoles are scattered over the cuticle or grouped in two, three or more areoles. A megareolar pattern is present. There are scattered areoles showing a round apex tubercle in one of their lateral parts, and the interareolar furrow is very wide and crossed by cuticular cords with minute spines. This whole set of features of Noteochordodes, makes this genus clearly different from the other known Gordiida genus.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5C2D3800FFD408542367FEF02819	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The body colour is light brown. The posterior end is undivided (Figure 2A). Cloacal opening, oval (37.5 mm long) and placed ventrally, 193.5 mm from the apex. The cloacal opening is surrounded by circumcloacal bristles. Anterolateral of the cloacal opening are paired rows of scattered bristles. The cuticle of the posterior end shows a different pattern from the rest of the body (see below), as the areoles are rounded with a smooth surface and the interareolar furrow is quite narrow. Scattered bristles are also found in this region (Figure 2A).</p> <p>The body cuticle shows areoles arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the body. There are oval (26.4 mm long) or rounded (14.5 mm) areoles (Figures 2C, D). The apical surface is depressed or flat. These areoles are isolated or form groups of two, three or six areoles. There are clusters of two areoles with a central tubercle between them; these areoles are not larger than the surrounding ones (Figure 2C). Some areoles show a lateral tubercle (Figure 2C, 2D). The interareolar furrow is wide and crossed by cuticular cords with minute spines.</p> <p>The other male specimens investigated (MLP 5047, MLP 5712, MLP 5713), show the same features as the male (MLP 5047).</p> <p>Female holotype.

The body colour is dark brown. The posterior end is rounded with a medial groove (Figure 3A). The shape of the cloacal opening and the presence of circumcloacal bristles could not be observed due to the dirt or sperm covering the cloacal opening. Anterolateral of the cloacal opening are scattered bristles. Posterior to the cloacal opening are short spines (postcloacal spines). The cuticle at the posterior end is covered by areoles and the interareolar groove is more or less wide and with short bristles.</p> <p>The body cuticle shows high (16.1 mm) and conical areoles (Figure 3C). The areoles are found isolated or forming groups of up to five areoles. Areoles are perpendicular to the anteroposterior axis of the body. A blunt tubercle is usually found between two areoles. There are isolated areoles with a tubercle in a lateral concavity (Figures 3C, D). Space among areolar groups is wide, crossed by cuticular cords and with minutes and scattered spines.</p> <p>Female (MRSNT G41). The body colour is light brown. The posterior end is rounded.</p> <p>The cuticle contains low (7.1 mm) rounded areoles with a flat and smooth apical surface (Figure 3B). The cuticle, as in males, presents a tubercle between two areoles and a lateral tubercle in some isolated areoles. As a difference to males the areoles are low and mainly arranged isolated or in areolar groups with no more than two areoles.</p> <p>The analysis by SEM of the remaining specimens studied, male and female, did not show modifications of the described characteristics for the male (MRSNT G6) and the female (MRSNT G41), respectively.</p> <p>Comments</p> <p>Camerano (1897a) describes this species as Chordodes talensis from Argentinian and Bolivian specimens without defining sex, measures or quantity of specimens analyzed from each locality. This information is included in this work (see below). Carvalho (1942) transfers C. talensis to the genus Neochordodes. This study by SEM reveals that the features of the cuticle correspond to those of the Noteochordodes and we therefore consider this species as Noteochordodes talensis.</p> <p>Present observations agree with Camerano (1897a, b): the females are different from the males in their cuticular features.</p> <p>Dimensions. Specimens from the original description of Camerano (1987a) measured in length/diameter: males (MRSNT G6) 123/ 0.4 mm; 126/ 0.8 mm; 143/ 0.78 mm and 155/ 1 mm. Males (MRSNT G41) 70/ 0.5 mm; 72/ 0.6 mm; 88/ 0.47 mm; 115/ 0.53 mm; 121/ 0.7 mm; 123/ 1 mm; 145/ 0.6 mm. Female (MRSNT G41) measured 100 mm in length and 1 mm in diameter. According to the literature, the dimensions of males vary from 75–221 mm in length and from 0.9–1.1 mm in diameter. The female measures 84 mm in length and 0.4 mm in diameter (Camerano 1915). Males vary from 76–129 mm in length and are maximally 0.8 mm in diameter while females range from 115–285 mm in length and from 0.4–1.3 mm in diameter (Miralles 1975). The newly reported specimens range in length from 55–210 mm in males and from 238–460 mm in females. The diameter varied from 0.53–0.95 mm in males and from 1.41–2.03 mm in females.</p> <p>Distribution. ARGENTINA: Buenos Aires: Sierra de la Ventana (Miralles and De Villalobos 1993).

The anterior end is tapering and a white cap and a dark calotte are not present. The posterior end is undivided (Figure 4A). The cloacal opening is oval (50 mm long) 166.7 mm from the posterior end. Around the cloacal opening there are circumcloacal spines. Scattered short bristles are distributed over the ventral side of the posterior end (Figure 4A).</p> <p>The body cuticle contains areoles with varying shape. Usually, they are oval, but they can also appear in rounded shape, with undulated borders. The surface of these areoles is smooth (Figures 4B, E) or less frequently with a central depression (Figure 4D). The areoles are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body (Figure 4B) isolated or in groups of two, three or more areoles. There are areoles forming clusters of two areoles with a rounded central tubercle as high as the areoles. Among these clusters other isolated areoles are usually found, with a tubercle resting on one of their lateral sides (Figures 4B, C, E). The interareolar furrow is wide, crossed by thick cuticular fibres and with minute and scarce bristles with sharp ends.</p> <p>The paratypes as well as the remaining specimens investigated show the same features described for the holotype.</p> <p>Comments. Miralles and De Villalobos (2000) transferred Pseudochordodes dugesi (Camerano, 1898) to the genus Noteochordodes. In the present study we analyzed, by SEM, the holotype of P. dugesi, from Veracruz Mexico (MRSNT G40) and could prove that the features of the cuticle are correspondent with those of the genus Pseudochordodes (see below), as considered by Carvalho (1942), and there are no structures characteristic of Noteochordodes. For this reason we transferred the specimens described as Noteochordodes dugesi (Miralles and De Villalobos 2000) to a new species N. cymatium n sp.</p> <p>Dimensions. Holotype: 141 mm in length and 0.6 mm in diameter. Paratypes measured in length and diameter 123/ 0.6 mm, 131/ 0.7 mm, 147/ 0.8 mm, 160/ 0.7 mm and 182/ 0.9 mm. Specimens from the description of Miralles and De Villalobos (2000) measured in length/diameter: (MLP 3145) 98/ 0.4 mm; (MLP 3146) 78/ 0.4 mm. Specimens from new locations are variable. They range in length from 83–235 mm. Diameters in mid-body range from 0.4–1 mm.</p> <p>Distribution.

Salta: Tala (1 „, as Noteochordodes dugesi Miralles and De Villalobos 2000).</p> <p>Etymology.

Argentina, Catamarca, Los Pinos stream.</p> <p>Material investigated. SEM mid-body and posterior end Holotype and 1 „ (MCNML 6882) from ARGENTINA Catamarca: El Lindero ranch, in pond.</p> <p>Description</p> <p>The body colour is light brown. The posterior end is rounded with a medial groove (Figure 5A). The cloacal opening is oval (40 mm long), 240 mm from the posterior end. The cloacal opening is surrounded by circumcloacal spines. Scattered short bristles are distributed over the ventral side of the posterior end (Figure 5A).</p> <p>The body showed a variation of the cuticular patterns. These variations are evident in the arrangement of the areoles along the whole body. In the anterior as well as in the posterior region the areoles are long and oval and are arranged in parallel groups of two, three or more areoles. These areolar lines maintain a clear transversal arrangement with respect to the longitudinal axis of the body (Figure 5B). The cuticle of the mid-body contains low (9.2 mm), rounded areoles (8.2–14.1 mm), arranged in a disorderly fashion. These areoles are rarely isolated and were distributed irregularly forming groups of two, three or five areoles. The areolar groups can connect to each other by means of cuticular projections forming strange shapes (Figures 5C, D). As the other species belonging to the genus Noteochordodes, N. achosmosus presents groups of two or three areoles with a thick tubercle of rounded apex among them which originates in a circular depression (Figures 5C, D). There are also isolated areoles with a tubercle arising directly from the cuticle of the interareolar furrow in one of their lateral faces (Figures 5C, D). The interareolar furrow is wide, with scattered tubercles and short, conical spines.</p> <p>Comments. Noteochordodes achosmosus n. sp. is clearly different from the other species of Noteochordodes due to the variation in the areolar arrangement along the body, the shape of the areolar groups and the tubercle located between the areolar group which arises from a deep and evident pore.</p> <p>Dimensions. The holotype measured 191 mm in length and 0.5 mm in diameter. The length of the male (MCNML 6882) is 197 mm with a maximal diameter of 0.7 mm.</p> <p>Distribution. ARGENTINA: Catamarca Los Pinos stream (28 ° 29 9 S, 65 ° 36 9 W), El Lindero ranch (29 ° 45 9 S, 64 ° 47 9 W) (1 „, new record).</p> <p>Etymology. The name of the new species comes from the Greek: akosmos that means disorderly, in relation with the arrangement of the areolar groups of the cuticle.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5C2D380BFFDE088827FCFB9D286E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

They are generally found isolated or in pairs, among the pairs of areoles a blunt tubercle not higher than the areoles can usually be found (megareolar pattern, Schmidt-Rhaesa 2001). The other type of areoles is small (13.9–16.6 mm) low, of irregular shape and rugged surface. In some of these areoles one or two pores with minute bristles of rounded apex can be observed (Figures 6A, B). The interareolar furrow is narrow and crossed by cuticular cords.</p> <p>Dimensions. 322 mm long, 2 mm wide.</p> <p>Comments. The reinvestigation of the cuticular features of the holotype allows us to confirm that it belongs to the genus Pseudochordodes as considered by Carvalho (1942).</p> <p>Key to the species of Noteochordodes</p> <p>1. Areoles are arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the whole body............................................. 2</p> <p>Areoles of the mid-body are disorderly arranged..... N. achosmosus</p> <p>2. Areoles isolated with a tubercle in a lateral concavity.......... 3 Areoles isolated with a tubercle resting on one of their lateral sides. 4</p> <p>3. Areoles conical, with smooth surface............... N. talensis Areoles elongated, narrow with flaking surface....... N. desantisi</p> <p>4. Areoles smooth or with a central depression and undulated borders. N. cymatium Areoles smooth or with a central depression and smooth border................................................ … N. saltae</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>From the three species described to date in the genus Noteochordodes, two could be confirmed. The reinvestigation of the holotype of [N. dugesi] allowed us to prove that the features of the cuticle are coincident with those of the genus Pseudochordodes. For this reason, the specimens assigned to [N. dugesi] have been transferred to a new species, N. cymatium. On the basis of the cuticular patterns Neochordodes talensis is included in Noteochordodes. Furthermore, another new species, N. achosmosus could be added to the genus. Therefore, the recently known diversity of Noteochordodes is of five species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5C2D380DFFC008CA2323FE912DF1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
