Abstract

One new species of horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) from Korea, Poruchordodes megareolatus, is described. The specimen is reported from the human urinary system. The significance of this and other reports from the urinary system is discussed. The characteristics of the new species are clusters of a small type of cuticular structures, the areoles, which are associated with a second type of areoles, the large megareoles. Another character unique for the genus Parachordodes is the fusion of rows of cuticular bristles on the ventral side anterior of the cloacal opening.

한국의 한 환자의 비뇨기계로부터 배출된 철선충이 신종으로 확인됨에 따라 진주철선충 (신칭) (Parachordodes megareolatus, n. sp.)으로 기재하였다. 이 신종의 형태적 특성은 표피에 작은 혹 (areole)이 돋아있고 이들이 큰구멍혹 (megareole)들과 연계되어 있는 것이다. 표피에 분포된 큰구멍혹이 이 신종이 갖고 있는 특성중의 하나이다. 일면. 본 충의 속 (genus)이 갖고 있는 특성중의 하나는 수컷 복면의 총배설강(cloaca)이 개구되는 전면에 강모 (bristle)가 나 있고 그 배열이 모두 융합되어 있다는 것이다.
