Gl. Cisper et al., 4 NEW COCCIDIA (APICOMPLEXA, EIMERIIDAE) FROM ANOLES (LACERTILIA, POLYCHROTIDAE) IN THE DOMINICAN-REPUBLIC, The Journal of parasitology, 81(2), 1995, pp. 252-255
Fecal samples from 25 Anolis armouri, 2 Anolis bahorucoensis, 48 Anoli
s cybotes, and 21 Anolis olssoni (Lacertilia: Polychrotidae) from sout
hern Hispaniola were examined for coccidian oocysts. Two eimerians and
2 isosporans are herein described as new species. Sporulated oocysts
of Eimeria schwartzi n. sp. from A. armouri are ellipsoidal, 22.7 (20.
8-25.0) x 15.7 (14.6-17.7) mu m, with spherical to subspherical sporoc
ysts, 7.9 (6.2-9.4) x 7.4 (6.2-8.3) mu m. Sporulated oocysts of Isospo
ra reui n. sp. from A. bahorucoensis are spherical to subspherical, 18
.2 (15.6-20.0) x 17.8 (15.6-19.8) mu m, with ovoid sporocysts, 11.9 (1
0.4-12.7) x 8.5 (7.5-9.4) mu m. Sporulated oocysts of Isospora henders
oni n. sp. from A. armouri and A. cybotes are spherical to subspherica
l, 23.2 (20.8-26.0) x 21.1 (18.4-23.9) mu m, with ellipsoidal sporocys
ts, 14.7 (12.5-15.6) x 10.0(9.2-11.4) mu m. Sporulated oocysts of Eime
ria avilae n. sp. from A. olssoni are cylindrical, 29.3 (26.0-33.3) x
15.9 (13.5-18.9) mu m, with ellipsoidal sporocysts 10.2 (9.4-11.4) x 6
.8 (5.2-8.0) mu m.
