Abstract
SYNOPSIS. Oocysts of Eimeria oreamni, E. montanaensis n. sp. and E. ernsti n. sp. were present in a fecal sample collected from a male Rocky Mountain goat Oreamnos americanus in Ravalli County, Montana. Oocysts of E. oreamni were nearly identical to those originally described from this host. Oocysts of E. montanaensis were 15‐23 by 13‐19 μ (mean 18.9 by 15.2 μ), with sporocysts 8‐12 by 4–7 μ(mean 9.9 by 5.2 μ). Oocysts of E. ernsti were 28‐37 by 19‐26 μ (mean 32.9 by 23.0 μ), with sporocysts 14‐20 by 6‐9 μ (mean 16.7 by 7.3 μ). A distinct micropyle and micropylar cap were present in E. ernsti.
