J. Helminthol. Soc. Wash. 66(2), 1999 pp. 187-193 Paraochoterenetta javanensis gen. et sp. n. (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) from Rana cancrivora (Amphibia: Anura) in West Java, Indonesia PURNOMO AND MICHAEL J. BANGS1 U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2, Box 3, APO AP 96520-8132, U.S.A. ABSTRACT: Paraochoterenella javanensis gen. et sp. n. (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) is described from the mesentery of the frog Rana cancrivora Gravenhorst in West Java, Indonesia. Paraochoterenella javanensis presently represents the only species in this newly created genus. Three of 13 frogs contained mature male and female worms and microfilariae. Paraochoterenella is distinguished from the other 4 genera, Foleyellides Caballero, Ochoterenella Caballero, Madochotera Bain and Brunhes, and Paramadochotera Esslinger in the subfamily Waltonellinae Bain and Prod'hon by the presence of cuticularized parastomal structures in both sexes, a distinct cuticularized buccal capsule, the lack of both lateral and caudal alae, and the presence of scattered (nonoriented) minute bosses on the cuticle of the midbody region. The microfilariae are unsheathed and slightly narrowed at the caudal extremity, with a 10:1 length to width ratio. Paraochoterenella represents the second genus in the subfamily Waltonellinae present in southern Asia and the first report of a filarial species in the subfamily from an Indonesian amphibian. A revised key to the genera is presented in light of this new addition to the subfamily. KEY WORDS: Filarioidea, Onchocercidae, Waltonellinae, Paraochoterenella javanensis gen. et sp. n., taxonomic key, Rana cancrivora, Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae, morphology, Java, Indonesia. The majority of the species contained in the subfamily Waltonellinae Bain and Prod'hon, 1974 (Filarioidea: Onchocercidae) have been described from the Western Hemisphere, particularly neotropical areas. Esslinger (1986a, b) provided redescriptions of type material of Ochoterenella Caballero, 1944, and Foleyellides Caballero, 1935, and revisions of the 4 related genera in the subfamily. Species previously assigned to the genus Waltonella Schacher, 1975, were transferred into the genera Foleyellides and Ochoterenella, the name Waltonella was placed as a junior synonym of Foleyellides, and the subfamily designation Waltonellinae was retained (Esslinger, 1986a, b). Members of this filarial assemblage have only been found in the body cavities of anuran amphibians, with the exception of 1 subcutaneous parasite, Foleyellides confusa (Schmidt and Kuntz, 1969; see Anderson and Bain, 1976). The subfamily members are parasites of toads and frogs in the families Bufonidae, Leptodactylidae, Racophoridae, and Ranidae. Three of 13 frogs identified as Rana cancrivora Gravenhorst, 1829 (Anura: Ranidae), and collected from Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, were examined and discovered to harbor adults and microfilariae of an Ochoterenella-like nem- 1 Corresponding author.

Microfilariae found in the blood and adult male and female worms removed from the mesentery belong to a previously unknown genus and species as described herein. Materials and Methods Live frogs were obtained from a local food dealer residing in Jakarta. All had been captured from the same locality along drainage ditches, approximately 5 km east of the city of Jakarta proper. Live adult worms were removed from the mesentery, relaxed in 0.6% saline solution, fixed in hot 70% ethanol, and preserved in 70% ethanol/5% glycerine. All specimens were cleared and temporarily mounted and examined in lactophenol. Microfilariae were obtained from blood. Thick blood films were processed with Giemsa's stain diluted 1:15 with pH 7.2 sodium phosphate buffer for 15 min. Drawings and measurements were made with the aid of a camera lucida. All measurements are expressed as means followed by the range in parentheses and are given as length by width in micrometers (|xm) unless otherwise indicated. Results Paraochoterenella gen. n.
