Cystidicola stigmatura ( Leidy, 1886) Ward & Magath, 1917

Synonym: Cystidicola cristivomeri White, 1941

Description (after White & Cable 1942, Ko & Anderson 1969, and Miscampbell et al. 2004). With characteristics of the genus.

Males: body 23 (17–31) long. Width at nerve ring 0.126 (0.101–0.144), at anus 0.125 (0.103–0.155). Buccal cavity 0.148 (0.124–0.174) long ( Fig. 60 View FIGURE 60 A). Nerve ring 0.399 (0.371–0.443) from anterior end [position of excretory pore not given]. Muscular oesophagus 0.527 (0.433–0.597) and glandular oesophagus 3.110 (2.370– 3.970) long. Cuticular bosses present on ventro-lateral surface of caudal alae. Spicules unequal: left one 0.900 (0.760–1.150), right one 0.200 (0.170–0.250) long. Seven to nine double pairs of pre-cloacal papillae present, the last pair sometimes single. Four pairs of post-cloacal papillae present, the 1st and 3rd single pairs, the 2nd and 4th double pairs. Phasmids 0.033 (0.025–0.037) from posterior end. Tail 0.244 (0.200–0.278) long ( Fig. 60 View FIGURE 60 B).

Females: body 28 (19–37) long. Width at nerve ring 0.142 (0.124–0.155), at anus 0.131 (0.113–0.151). Buccal cavity 0.149 (0.134–0.165) long. Nerve ring 0.405 (0.371–0.433) and excretory pore 0.608 (0.525–0.690) from anterior end. Muscular oesophagus 0.524 (0.474–0.567) and glandular oesophagus 3.070 (2.630–3.310) long.

Uterus amphidelphic, didelphic. Vulva slightly posterior to middle of body, 16 (10–21) from anterior end.

Phasmids 0.036 (0.034–0.037) from posterior end. Tail 0.212 (0.175–0.265) long. Fully developed eggs 0.045

(0.042–0.049) x 0.025 (0.023–0.026), bearing lateral “lobes” (“floats” or “mammillations” in litt.) ( Fig. 60 View FIGURE 60 C).

*Footnote: nematodes recovered from species of Coregonus were probably Cystidicola farionis misidentified

as C. stigmatura . Most of the early records of C. stigmatura from other non- Salvelinus hosts pre-date the work of

G. A. Black and coworkers and should be viewed with caution. Later records should be verified by examination of

deposited specimens.
