The parasitic crustaceans of fishes from the Brazilian Amazon. 10 - Acusicola pellonidis n.sp. (Copepoda: Cyclopidae) from Pellona castelnaeana (VALENCIENNES)

The female of Acusicola pellonidis n. sp. (Copepoda : Cyclopidea) is described from the gills of an Amazonian fish, Pellona castelnaeana (VALENCIENNES). The new species is distinguished from all others known for the genus by its larger size, longer antennae, sparse pigmentation and by the presence of a Y-shaped reinforcing structure in the dorsal wall of the cephalothorax. Keywords : parasitism, Crustaceans, fishes, Amazo

The parasitic crustaceans from the Brazilian Amazon. 15. Gamispatulus schizodontis gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) from the nasal fossae of Schizodon fasciatus AGASSIZ

The female of Gamispatulus schizodontis gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) is described from the nasal fossae of an Amazonian fish, Schizodon fasciatus AGASSIZ. The new genus differs from the other genera of the family by having a lateral retrostylet with a medial spatulate process, a wide flat rostral projection and a S-segmented antennule

The parasitic crustaceans of fishes from the Brazilian Amazon. 12. Ergasilus hydrolycus n.sp. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida) from Hydrolycus scomberoides (CUVIER)

The female of Ergasilus hydrolycus n. sp. is described from specimens taken from the gills of an Amazonian fish, Hydrolycus scomberoides (CUVIER). The new species is similar to E. bryconis THATCHER, 1981, and to E. jaraquensis THATCHER & ROBERTSON, 1982, in the form of the body, antennae and legs, and in having a curved pectinate seta on the terminal segment of the first exopod. The new species is distinguished from the other two by having a single seta representing the fifth leg, instead of two, and by having a relatively larger antennal claw. Additionally, the pigmentation of E. hydrolycus n. sp., is limited to a single transverse band at the level of the mouth while in the other two species it is diffuse and distributed throughout the body. Also, the uropod of the new species has two main setae and that of E. bryconis has three. The new species is larger than E. jaraquensis

Institutional path-dependencies in Europe’s networked modes of governance

We consider whether transnational networks that softly discipline member states (e.g. the OMC or regulatory networks that oversee national discretion in implementing broad EU frameworks) mark a significant turn in European integration or merely a transitional step towards centralisation (e.g. agencification) and formalisation (subjecting to law). We suggest this requires a closer reading of the institutional changes necessary to bring about centralisation/formalisation, and ask particularly whether change might be partially attributable to the very institutional-agents operating inside Europe’s networked modes of governance. Supplementing functional-political explanations, we propose an endogenous model of institutional change that incorporates the independent role transnational networks play in shaping their own institutionalisation, which may make this mode of governance more resilient and even self-reinforcing. We test the plausibility of this model with a case study detailing the institutional entrepreneurship of transnational networks in the telecoms sector

The parasitic crustaceans of fishes from the Brazilian Amazon. 13. Gamidactylus jaraquensis gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) from the nasal fossae of Semaprochilodus insignis (SCHOMBURGK)

The female of Gamidactylus jaraquensis gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) is described from the nasal fossae of an Amazonian fish, Seniprochilodus insignis (SCHOMBURGK). The new genus differs from the two known species of Vaigamus in having a two-clawed antenna and in lacking the rostral spine

The parasitic crustaceans of fishes from the Brazilian Amazon, 14, Gamispinus diabolicus gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) from the nasal fossae of Ageneiosus brevifilis VALENCIENNES

The female of Gamispinus diabolicus gen. et sp. nov. (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida: Vaigamidae) is described from the nasal fossae of an Amazonian fish, Ageneiosus brevifitis VALENCIENNES. The new genus differs from the other two genera of the family (Vaigamus and Gamidactylus) in having a five-segmented antennule and an antenna which terminates in one fixed and two moveable spines
