Myxidium maamouni sp. n. and Myxidium aydai sp. n. were described from the gallbladder of the African flying fish Cheilopogon nigricans and Suez fusilier Caesio suevicus, respectively. Fishes were collected from the Red Sea at Al-Quseir, Egypt. M. maamouni have irregular to mostly rounded polysporous plasmodia with diameter of 27 microm. Spores were sigmoid or S-shaped and sometimes spindle-shaped in the frontal view with smooth valves. They measured 13.5 x 8.0 x 8.2 microm in size. Their polar capsules were equal pyriform and measured 7.0 x 3.2 microm in size with nine to 12 coils. Spores of M. aydai were spindle-shaped in the frontal view with thin smooth valves. They measured 23.0 x 5.6 x 5.5 microm in size. Their polar capsules were pyriform and measured 7.2 x 3.4 microm in size with eight to nine coils.
马穆尼碘泡虫（Myxidium maamouni）新种和艾代碘泡虫（Myxidium aydai）新种分别从非洲飞鱼（Cheilopogon nigricans）的胆囊和苏伊士燧鲷（Caesio suevicus）中被描述。这些鱼是从埃及库赛尔的红海采集的。马穆尼碘泡虫具有不规则至大多圆形的多孢子质型，直径为27微米。孢子在正面观呈乙状或S形，有时呈纺锤形，瓣面光滑。其大小为13.5×8.0×8.2微米。它们的极囊呈等梨形，大小为7.0×3.2微米，有9至12圈。艾代碘泡虫的孢子在正面观呈纺锤形，瓣面薄且光滑。其大小为23.0×5.6×5.5微米。它们的极囊呈梨形，大小为7.2×3.4微米，有8至9圈。
