Abstract
Nine new species of Eimeria are described from rat-kangaroos of the family Potoroidae. Five new species, E. hypsiprymodontis, E. tinarooensis, E. spratti, E. spearei and E. kairiensis, were found in the musky rat-kangaroo, Hypsiprymnodon moschatus, from the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland. Eimeria potoroi new species and E. mundayi new species occurred in the potoroo, Potorous tridactylus, from Tasmania. E. aepyprymni new species was found in a captive rufous bettong, Aepyprymnus rufescens, in South Australia but was absent in free-living bettongs originating from Queensland. Eimeria gaimardi new species was the only coccidian found in the Tasmanian bettong, Bettongia gaimardi.
