Abstract
SYNOPSIS Plasmodium chiricahuae sp. nov. from the Arizona lizards Sceloporus jarrovi and S. clarki is similar to P. mexicanum Thompson and Huff, but differs by having larger gametocytes and smaller erythrocytic schizonts (4‐8 merozoites). It produces low‐level parasitemia with early appearance of gametocytes. Gametocytes may persist over one year following cessation of erythrocytic schizogonic activity. P. chiricahuae varies in prevalence at different altitudes, being most common between 6000 and 8000 feet. Infected hosts were collected at a maximum of 9200 feet.
