Eimeria sinaitae n. sp. is described from the gall bladder of Agama sinaita from Wasie, Saudi Arabia. Sporulated oocysts are elongate-ellipsoid 34.4 x 22.0 (29.0-40.0 x 17.4-24.5) micron. Oocyst wall is smooth, greenish yellow, 1.2 (1.0-1.4) micron thick, and two-layered. Micropyle, polar granule, and oocyst residuum are absent. Sporocysts are ellipsoid 11.4 x 7.6 (9.8-15.0 x 6.7-9.0) micron. Sporocyst residuum is present. The sporocysts lack a Stieda body. Sporozoites are crescent-shaped, blunt at one end and tapered at the other. Eimeria species from Agamidae are compared.
新种西奈艾美球虫(Eimeria sinaitae n. sp.)是从沙特阿拉伯瓦西的西奈鬣蜥胆囊中发现并描述的。孢子化卵囊呈长椭圆形,大小为34.4×22.0(29.0 - 40.0×17.4 - 24.5)微米。卵囊壁光滑,呈黄绿色,厚1.2(1.0 - 1.4)微米,由两层组成。微孔、极粒和卵囊残体均不存在。孢子囊呈椭圆形,大小为11.4×7.6(9.8 - 15.0×6.7 - 9.0)微米。有孢子囊残体。孢子囊无斯氏体。子孢子呈新月形,一端钝圆,另一端渐细。对鬣蜥科的艾美球虫种类进行了比较。
