Abstract
Neoplasioporus zocconis (Yamaguti, 1934) (Trematoda: Opecoelidae) was found from the intestine of the pale chub, Zacco platypus, for the first time in Korea. The worms were characterized morphologically by oval body shape, bipartited seminal vesicle, sinistrally located genital pore, and lobed ovary, and distinguished from the two other species of Neoplagioporous by body shape and distribution of vitelline follicles. The morphological characteristics, except the ovary, well corresponded to those of the previous descriptions. The morphological difference of the ovary was considered as a character of geographical phenotypic variation.
피라미 (Zacco platypus)의 장으로부터 흡충류에 속하는 Neoplagioporus zacconis (Yamaguti, 1934) 1종을 한국에서는 처음으로 발견하여 기재하였다. 본 연구에서 발견된 충체는 난소의 형태를 제외한 다른 형태학적 특징들은 기존에 기재되어 있는 특징들과 잘 일치하였다. 난소 형태의 차이는 지리학적 표현형의 변이로 여겨졌다. Neoplagioporus속에 대한 속명을 신편평흡충속으로 제안한다.
