Two new species of Eimeria and one of Isospora are described from the collared pika, Ochotona collaris, collected in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Oocysts of E. circumborealis n. sp. are ellipsoid to subspherical and measure 21–34 by 15–23 (26.6 by 20.2); sporocysts are ovoid, measuring 10–16 by 6–9 (13.4 by 8.2). A micropyle, diffuse polar granules, Stieda body, and sporocyst residua are present, Övoid oocysts of E. klondikensis n, sp. are 32–38 by 23–26(35.2 by 24,6); sporocysts are ovoid, measuring 14–16 by 8–10 (15.5 by 9.2). A prominent micropyle, polar granule, Stieda body, and sporocyst residua are present. Oocysts of I. yukonensis n. sp. are elongate ellipsoid, measuring 48–57 by 21–27 (52.4 by 23.3); sporocysts are ovoid measuring 26–29 by 12–14 (27.6 by 12.3). A Stieda body, substiedal body, and sporocyst residua are present. In addition, this is the first record of E. barretti, E. banffensis, E. calentinei, E. princepsis, and I. marquardti from O. collaris; and of E. circumborealis, E. calentinei, E. banffensis, E. klondikensis, E. princepsis, and E. worleyi from O. hyperborea yesoensis. All of the above species except I. yukonensis and E. worleyi were also found in O. princeps from southwestern Alberta; E. circumborealis and E. klondikensis are new host records for this pika.

New Host Records

Descriptions and illustrations are given for two new species of Myrsidea Waterston, 1915 from cardinals and tanagers from Costa Rica. They and their type hosts are: Myrsidea poliogasteri ex Caryothraustes poliogaster (Cardinalidae) and M. larvatae ex Tangara larvata (Thraupidae). The male of Myrsidea mitrospingi is also described. New host records are Sporophila corvina for Ricinus diffusus; Mitrospingus cassinii for Menacanthus eurysternus; Tachyphonus luctuosus for Myrsidea spizae; Euphonia gouldi for Myrsidea violaceae; and Tachyphonus delattrii for Machaerilaemus laticorpus. Records of two other louse species of the genus Myrsidea from tanagers are also discussed. This paper includes the first record of Myrsidea from members of the passerine family Cardinalidae, and a number of additional new host-louse associations.

During June and July of 1988, 264 amphibians from Algonquin Park, Ontario, were examined for eimeriid coccidian parasites; the species examined were Rana catesbeiana Shaw, Rana clamitans Latreille, Rana septentrionalis Baird, and Rana sylvatica LeConte. Two distinct types of oocysts were observed in the feces of the frogs. The highest prevalence of infection was recorded from young adult frogs and two new species of Eimeria are described from these animals. Oocysts of Eimeria algonquini n.sp. are spherical, 15.8 (14.5–16.1) μm in diameter, with a thin single-layered wall; micropyle and polar granule absent; large granular oocyst residuum present. Sporocysts banana-shaped, 19.5 (18.7–20.4) × 4.2 (3.8–4.6) μm with prominent granular residuum; Stieda body absent. Oocysts of Eimeria kermiti n.sp. are ovoid, 25.1 (24.7–26.6) × 19.5 (17.6–20.1) μm with thin single-layered wall; polar granule present; micropyle absent; large granular oocyst residuum present. Sporocysts ovoid, 9.9 (9.3–10.4) × 6.6 (6.0–7.1) μm with Stieda body and prominent granular residuum.

SummaryTwo new species of coccidia, Eimeria gourai sp. nov. from the Victoria crowned pigeon (Goura victoria Fraser) and Eimeria duculai sp.nov. from the Torres Strait imperial pigeon (Ducula spilorrhoa Gray) have been described. Eimeria gourai oocysts are spherical to sub-spherical in shape, measure 20·0 (19·0–22·0) × 20·0 (18·0–21·0) μm and are devoid of micropyle and oocyst residuum. Elongate sporocysts are 12·0 × 5·5 μm, and contain a granular residuum. Eimeria duculai oocysts are broadly ovoid with an inconspicuous micropyle at the narrower end. They are 28·0 (26·0–31·0) × 25·0 (23·0–27·0) μm in size, without residuum but with a membrane-bound polar granule. The elongate sporocysts are 15·5 × 7·2 μm, with prominent Stieda body and granular, membrane-bound residuum. The morphological characteristics of the known coccidian oocysts from birds of the avian order Columbiformes are reviewed.

Four species of adult cestodes and one larval form were recovered from Rattus assimilis (Gould, 1858) from Queensland. Hymenolepis diminuta Rudolphi, 1819; and the cysticercus of Taenia taeniae-formis (Batsch, 1786) are new host records for Australia; the same infestations with Raillietina (Raillietina) celebensis (Janicki, 1902) have also been recorded by Baer and Sandars (1956). Two new species, viz:—Choanotaenia ratticola and Hymenolepis australiensis are described.The type specimens are lodged in the Queensland Museum, Brisbane. Cotype and other specimens studied are also lodged in the Queensland Museum and in the Institut de Zoologie, Université de Neuchâtel, Switzerland; the Department of Parasitology, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and in the British Museum (Natural History).

AbstractNinety-seven cliff swallows, Petrocheilidon pyrrhonota, were examined from North-eastern Colorado. Five species of nematodes (Hadjelia pyrrhonotae sp. n., Acuaria sp., Microtetrameres inermis, Splendidofilaria sp., Diplotriaena sp.); four species of trematodes (Concinnum minor sp. n., Brachylecithum marinholutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotremagratiosus); and two species of acanthocephala.(Mediorhynchusgrandis, Mediorhynchus papillosus (juveniles)) were recovered. All eleven species of helminths represent new host records. Six new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi, Plagiorchis maculosus, Stomylotrema gratiosus) were established for Colorado. Five new records (Hadjelia pyrrhonota, Microtetrameres inermis, Concinnum minor, Brachylecithum marinlwlutzi were established for North America.

Three subgenera of Chelonus Panzer (1806): Areselonus Braet (1999), Baculonus Braet & van Achterberg (2001) and Megachelonus Baker (1926) are recorded for the first time from China. The species of Chelonus (Areselonus) chailini Walker & Huddleson is reported for the first time, and new host information is provided. The subgenus of Baculonus Braet & van Achterberg, 2001 has been recorded only from the Neotropical region before this study. Chelonus (Baculonus) icteribasis sp. nov., represents the first record of this group from the Old World. Two new species of subgenus Megachelonus, i.e., C. (M.) macros sp. nov. and C. (M.) longqiensis sp. nov., are described from China. A key to the six currently known Megachelonus species is included to facilitate future identifications.

AbstractA key is provided to the ten genera of Anomaloninae occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. The numbers of African species in the various genera are discussed with particular reference to those having potential economic importance as parasites of Lepidoptera. Parania Morley is recorded for the first time from Africa, and two new species P. prima sp. n. and P. secunda sp. n. are described. A number of new host records are given.

Studies on obligatory, ectoparasitic mites of the family Syringophilidae associated with birds in Germany were scarce and scattered over the time. This paper summarizes current knowledge of German syringophilid fauna. We present new host and locality records and describe two new species: Niglarobia lapponica sp. nov. and Charadriineopicobia ristowi sp. nov. from the quill feathers of bar-tailed godwit Limosa lapponica (Linnaeus) (Scolopacidae).

Two new species of Coccidia (Apicocomplexa: Eimeriidae) are described from the feces of common snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina serpentina, from Arkansas and Texas, U.S.A. Oocysts of Isospora chelydrae sp.nov. were found in 3/9 (33%) turtles and are symmetrical, 9.6 × 6.8 (9–11 × 6–8) μm, and bear one conical projection on one side of the oocyst and two conical projections on the opposite side of the oocyst, 1.5 – 1.6 μm long; shape index 1.4 (1.2 – 1.6). A micropyle, oocyst residuum, and polar granule are absent. Sporocysts are ellipsoid, 5.8 × 4.0 (5 – 7 × 3.8 – 4.2) μm, with a small Stieda body but no substieda body; shape index 1.5 (1.3 – 1.7). Oocysts of Eimeria serpentina sp.nov. were found in 4/9 (44%) of the turtles and are ellipsoid, 12.8 × 8.1 (11 – 15 × 7 – 10) μm; shape index 1.6 (1.4 – 1.9). A micropyle, oocyst residuum, and polar granule are absent. Sporocysts are ellipsoid, 7.6 × 4.1 (6 – 9 × 4 – 5) μm, each with a Stieda body but a substieda body is absent; shape index 1.8 (1.5 – 2.1). In addition, E. chelydrae Ernst, Stewart, Sampson, and Fincher, 1969 and E. filamentifera Wacha and Christiansen, 1979 were found in 4/9 (44%) and 1/9(11%) hosts, respectively.
