A new species of coccidian (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) is described from the feces of a western hognose snake Heterodon nasicus (Serpentes: Xenodontidae) collected from Texas, and housed in the collection of the Zoological Society of London. Oocysts of Eimeria mchenryi n. sp. are cylindrical, 35.0 ± SD 1.4 (32-37) × 17.0 ± 0.7 (16-18) µm; the shape index (length/width) is 2.05. A micropyle, oocyst residuum, and polar granule are absent. Sporocysts are subspherical 9.3 (7-11.5) × 7.7 (6-9) µm, with a shape index of 1.2. There is a sporocyst residuum, but the new species is lacking Stieda bodies. The new species is distinct from those previously named from the Xenodontidae and the allied family, Colubridae.
从得克萨斯州采集的西部猪鼻蛇（Heterodon nasicus，游蛇科：异齿蛇属）粪便中发现了一种新的球虫（顶复门：艾美耳科），该样本保存在伦敦动物学会的馆藏中。描述了新种麦克亨利艾美耳球虫（Eimeria mchenryi n. sp.）。卵囊呈圆柱形，大小为35.0 ±标准差1.4（32 - 37）× 17.0 ± 0.7（16 - 18）µm；形状指数（长/宽）为2.05。无微孔、卵囊残余体和极粒。孢子囊呈近球形，大小为9.3（7 - 11.5）× 7.7（6 - 9）µm，形状指数为1.2。有孢子囊残余体，但该新种没有斯氏体。该新种与之前从异齿蛇科及相关的游蛇科中命名的物种不同。
