Coprological examination of 40 Apodemus mystacinus Danford and Alston 1877 from Jordan revealed oocysts of three species of genus Eimeria. Two species are described as new. Eimeria zuhairamri sp. n. has broadly ellipsoidal oocysts 29.6 (27.0-34.0) × 23.3 (22.0-25.0) µm with distinctly granulated wall and oocyst residuum. Endogenous development occurs in jejunum and ileum. Eimeria alorani sp. n. has oocysts 26.9 (23.0-29.0) × 19.3 (18.0-22.0) µm with smooth wall and absent residuum. Endogenous development is confined to the caecum. The third species, developing in jejunum, has oocysts morphologically indistinguishable from Eimeria uptoni. The identity of E. uptoni and the taxonomy of Eimeria of Apodemus are discussed.

Koprologické vyšetření 40 Apodemus mystacinus Danford and Alston 1877 z Jordánska odhalilo oocysty 3 druhů r. Eimeria. Dva druhy jsou popsány jako nové: Eimeria zuhairamri sp. n. s oocystami 29.6 (27.0-34.0) × 23.3 (22.0-25.0) µm a s granulovanou stěnou a Eimeria alorani sp. n. s oocystami 26.9 (23.0-29.0) × 19.3 (18.0-22.0) µm s hladkou stěnou. Třetí druh s výojem v jejunu měl oocysty nerozlišitelné od Eimeria uptoni.
