Abstract
Henneguya quelen n. sp. (Myxosporea) is described from the kidney of the silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824), from Marajó Island. In all, 40% of the 57 silver catfish collected from the Paracauari River in the municipality of Salvaterra presented cysts in the kidney. The cysts were whitish, spherical, and 0.45 mm in diameter. The histological analyses revealed tubular renal compression and cellular degeneration in the area adjacent to the xenomas. The spores are ellipsoid, with well-marked valves, caudal projection, and two elongated polar capsules of equal size. The mature spores measure approximately 15.6 μm in length, with the caudal appendage split posteriorly; 24.3 μm in length, for a total spore length of 40.0 μm; and a width of 4.1 μm. The polar capsules are pyriform, 5.5 μm long and 1.7 μm wide. A phylogenetic analysis based on Bayesian inference confirmed that the specimens represented a new species, which was denominated Henneguya quelen n. sp.
