Coprological examination of New Caledonian geckoes of the genus Rhacodactylus Fitzinger, 1843 revealed two new species of coccidia. Isospora leachiani sp. n. from R. leachianus (Cuvier, 1829) has oval, colourless oocysts, measuring 21-26 x 16-18.5 microm. Sporocysts are ellipsoidal, 11-12.5 x 6.5-8 microm, with distinct Stieda and substieda bodies. Oocysts of Isospora sykorai sp. n. from R. ciliatus (Guichenot, 1866) are elongately oval to cylindrical, 20-23.5 x 11-14 microm; sporocysts of this species are ellipsoidal, 10-11.5 x 7-8 microm, with a slightly pointed end and Stieda and substieda bodies. Infected geckoes did not exhibit any alteration of their health status.
对1843年菲津格（Fitzinger）命名的新喀里多尼亚柔趾虎属（Rhacodactylus）壁虎进行粪便学检查，发现了两种新的球虫。来自睫角守宫（R. leachianus，居维叶，1829年）的李氏等孢球虫（Isospora leachiani sp. n.）具有椭圆形、无色的卵囊，大小为21 - 26×16 - 18.5微米。孢子囊呈椭圆形，11 - 12.5×6.5 - 8微米，有明显的斯氏体和亚斯氏体。来自睫角壁虎（R. ciliatus，吉什诺，1866年）的西科拉等孢球虫（Isospora sykorai sp. n.）的卵囊为长椭圆形至圆柱形，20 - 23.5×11 - 14微米；该物种的孢子囊呈椭圆形，10 - 11.5×7 - 8微米，一端略尖，有斯氏体和亚斯氏体。受感染的壁虎健康状况未出现任何改变。
