| More Details: | The present investigation deals with biosystematic studies of Pseudophyllidean tapeworm Senga i.e. S. satarensis, S. madhavae, S. mangalbai and S.microrostellata collected from intestine of a Mastacembelus armatus at various places of Marathwada Region (M.S.) India during the period of May, 2012 to Oct., 2013. The worm of present study come closer to all known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to morphometeric measurements and morphological characteristics. The Senga satarensis (Bhure et.al., 2011) comes closer to known species of the genus Senga Dollfus, 1934 in general topography of organ but differs due to taxonomic characters as scolex pear shaped, rostellum bearing 28-30 rostellar hooks, neck absent, testes 175-200 in numbers, cirrus pouch oval, ovary bilobed, vagina runs posteriorly, genital pores oval, vitellaria granular, uterus saccular and egg elongated. The Senga madhavae (Bhure et.al.,2010) comes closer to known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex triangular, rostellum bearing 40-44 rostellar hooks, neck absent, mature proglottids five to six times broader than long, testes 200-220 in numbers, cirrus pouch oval, ovary dumb-bell shaped, genital pores oval in shape, vitellaria granular, uterus saccular and egg elongated. The Senga mangalbai (Bhure et.al.,2011) comes closer to all the known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex conical, hooks 38-42 in numbers, absence of neck, testes 70-80 in numbers, ovary bilobed, each lobe nut shaped and vitellaria granular. The Senga microrostellata (Bhure et.al.,2014) comes closer to all known species of this genus in general topography of organ but differs due to scolex triangular, bothria sessile, rostellum armed with 18-20 hooks which is single circled, absence of neck, mature proglottids 8-9 times broader than long, testes 250-300 in numbers, cirrus pouch elongated, vagina runs posteriorly, ovary dumb-bell shaped, uterus sacular filled with non-operculated eggs and Vitellaria follicular. |
