Annotation
Two new species of coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) are described from Kenyan frogs. Eimeria fragilis sp. n., described from Chiromantis petersii, has ellipsoidal oocysts, 18.5 (17-19.5) × 15.2 (14.5-16) µm; lacking micropyle, oocyst residuum and polar granule. Sporocysts are dizoic, navicular, 10.6 (9.5-12) × 6.8 (6-7) µm. Oocysts of Eimeria wambaensis sp. n. found in Hyperolius viridiflavus are ellipsoidal to ovoidal, 17.0 (15.0-18.5) × 13.0 (11.0-14.0) µm; without micropyle, oocyst residuum and polar granule. Sporocysts are dizoic, navicular, 8.7 (8.0-10.5) × 6.0 (5.5-7.0) µm. Described species are the first Eimeria reported from African anurans.
