[Larval development of Paricterotaenia porosa (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea, Dilepididae) in dipterans of the genus Chironomus, experimental hosts. On comparative larval forms of dilepidid flatworms (author's transl)].
The authors describe the larval evolution of Paricterotaenia porosa (Rud., 1810) Fuhrmann (1932) (Cestoda: Cyclophyllidea, Dilepididae) in three species belonging to the genus Chironomus (Diptera, Nematocera) used as experimental hosts. The protoscolex of the infestant larva is retracted into a cystic vesicule, the cysticercoïd is surrounded by a fragmented cercomer and a capsule. P. porosa in contrary to P. paradoxa (Rud., 1802) do not present asexual reproduction in its intermediate host. P. porosa and Anomotaenia constricta (Molin, 1858) Cohn (1900) show a similar evolution, though the cercomer appears sooner in the former. These cysticercoïds are regarded as Monocercus Villot (1883) the characteristics of which are given. The Monocercus is specific to the Dilepididae. The other larval types described in this family i.e. Cercoscolex and Plerocercus (Jackera, 1970) Plerocercoïd (Freeman, 1973) ans Strobilo cysticercoïd (Freeman, 1973) are compared to the larva of other families: Proteocephalidae, Mesocestoididae and Amabiliidae respectively.
