| Abstract | Echinoplectanum n. g. is erected for diplectanids which have a male copulatory organ comprising a tubular sclerotised penis with a muscular reservoir at its proximal extremity and an protrusible cirrus, often with spiny ridges, at its distal extremity, and a female copulatory organ comprising a sclerotised vaginal sac, often with two thin tubes. All species have similar squamodiscs made of rows of rodlets, with the central rows forming closed circles, and haptoral parts with a similar shape but different measurements; they are distinguished on the basis of the size and morphology of the male copulatory organ and sclerotised vagina. Five new species are included in Echinoplectanum and are all parasites of coralgroupers, Plectropomus spp., off New Caledonia, South Pacific. Two are from P. laevis (Lacépède): E. laeve n. sp. (type-species) has a large elongate penis, 53 $$μ$$ m in length, a cirrus with spiny ridges and a spherical vagina with two long thin tubes; and E. chauvetorum n. sp. has a large elongate penis, 51 $$μ$$ m in length, a cirrus with thin spiny ridges, and a pear-shaped vagina with two short thin tubes. Three species are from P. leopardus (Lacépède): E.␣leopardi n. sp. has an elongate penis, 36 $$μ$$ m in length, an unspiny cirrus and a triangular vagina; E.␣pudicum n. sp. has a very small elongate penis 14 $$μ$$ m in length and no visible vagina; and E. rarum n. sp. has a short thick penis 18 $$μ$$ m in length and a ring-shaped vagina with two thin tubes. In addition, Diplectanum plectropomi Young, 1969, from P. maculatus off Western Australia, and D. echinophallus Euzet & Oliver, 1965 from Epinephelus marginatus in the Mediterranean Sea and Senegal, West Africa, both herein redescribed from the type-specimens, are transferred to Echinoplectanum, as E. plectropomi n. comb. and E.␣echinophallus n. comb., respectively. Six of the seven species of Echinoplectanum are parasitic in members of Plectropomus from the South West Pacific, but one (E. echinophallus) is a parasite of Epinephelus marginatus and has been recorded only from the Mediterranean and East Atlantic; it is suggested that Echinoplectanum is associated with Plectropomus, a basal genus among the epinephelines, and that host-switching to Epinephelus marginatus occurred, whose distribution extends from Europe to the Indian Ocean. Morphological characteristics of the copulatory organs suggest that a “chastity belt versus spiny penis” sperm competition pattern prevails in Echinoplectanum spp. Echinoplectanum n. g. est créé pour des Diplectanidae qui ont un organe copulateur mâle comprenant un pénis tubulaire sclérifié avec un réservoir musculaire à son extrémité proximale et un cirre évaginable, souvent avec crêtes épineuses, à son extrémité distale, et un appareil copulateur femelle comprenant un sac vaginal sclérifié, souvent avec deux tubes fins. Toutes les espèces ont des squamodisques similaires formés de rangées d’osselets, dont les rangées centrales forment des cercles, et des pièces du hapteur de forme similaire, mais avec des mesures différentes ; elles sont différenciées à partir de la taille et de la morphologie de l’organe copulateur mâle et du vagin sclérifié. Cinq nouvelles espèces sont incluses dans Echinoplectanum et sont toutes parasites de Plectropomus spp. au large de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, Pacifique Sud. Deux sont parasites de P. laevis (Lacépède) : E. laeve n. sp. (espèce-type) a un grand pénis allongé, long de 53 $$μ$$ m, un cirre portant des crêtes épineuses, et un vagin sphérique avec deux longs tubes fins ; E. chauvetorum n. sp. a un grand pénis allongé, long de 51 $$μ$$ m, un cirre portant de fines crêtes épineuses, et un vagin en forme de poire avec deux courts tubes fins. Trois espèces sont parasites de P. leopardus (Lacépède) : E. leopardi n. sp. a un pénis allongé long de 36 $$μ$$ m et un cirre inerme, et un vagin triangulaire ; E. pudicum n. sp. a un pénis allongé très petit, long de 14 $$μ$$ m, et son vagin n’est pas visible ; E. rarum n. sp. a un pénis court et épais, de longueur 18 $$μ$$ m, et un vagin en anneau avec deux tubes fins. De plus, Diplectanum plectropomi Young, 1969, de P. maculatus à l’Ouest de l’Australie, et D. echinophallus Euzet & Oliver, 1965 d’Epinephelus marginatus de Mer Méditerranée et Sénégal, Afrique de l’Ouest, tous deux redécrits ici à partir des spécimens-types, sont transférés dans Echinoplectanum respectivement comme E. plectropomi n. comb. et E. echinophallus n. comb. Six des sept espèces d’Echinoplectanum sont parasites d’espèces de Plectropomus du Sud Ouest Pacifique, mais une (E. echinophallus) est parasite d’Epinephelus marginatus et a été rapportée uniquement de la Méditerranée et de l’Atlantique Est ; on fait l’hypothèse que le genre Echinoplectanum est associé à Plectropomus, un genre basal parmi les Epinephelinae, et qu’un changement d’hôte est survenu vers Epinephelus marginatus, dont l’aire s’étend de l’Europe jusqu’à l’Océan Indien. Les caractéristiques morphologiques de l’appareil copulateur suggèrent qu’une compétition spermatique de type « ceinture de chasteté contre pénis épineux » prévaut chez Echinoplectanum spp. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
