Extract

This work contains the description of two new Coccidia parasitic in the South American lizard Cnemidophorus lemniscatus lemniscatus. One is identified as Eimeria flaviviridis americana subsp.nov., which is described and discussed in relation to the other species recorded from sauria. The other is Hoarella garnhami gen.nov., sp.nov., whose position in the family Eimeriidae necessitated a revision of the classification of the Coccidia Eimeriidae.

I wish to acknowledge the help and encouragement I received from Professor P. C. C. Garnham, in whose department this work was carried out. My thanks are also due to Dr Cecil Hoare for his private communications and assistance in the interpretation of histological specimens. The author is grateful for co-operation of the School's Photograph Staff and to members of the staff of the Department of Parasitology, especially to Mr P. E. Nesbitt for his valuable sections. Finally, the author is indebted to the Consejo de Desarrollo Cientifico y Humanístico de la Universidad Central, Caracas, for their assistance in the form of a scholarship during the tenure of which this work was produced.
