Abstract
Eimeria scinci Phisalix 1923, is redescribed from the gall bladder of six of 20 (30%) specimens of the sandfish lizard, Scincus mitranus Anderson 1871 from Zulfi in the central region of Saudi Arabia. This report represents a new host and geographic record for the parasite. Oocyst measurements were similar to those reported previously from Scincus officinalis Laurenti 1768 in Tunisia. Except for our observation of a subspherical, compact sporocyst residuum, the oocyst morphology was identical to the original description of E. scinci. Comparisons are made with species of Eimeria Schneider 1875 from Scincidae.
