    Abstract:
    Eimeria schmidti n.sp. is described from the gall bladder of Acanthodactylus schmidti from Al-Thomama area in the central region of Saudi Arabia. Sporulated oocysts are ellipsoid 31.2 x 23.3 (26.9-36.4 x 21.2-26.0). Oocyst wall is smooth, greenish yellow, 1.31 (1.16-1.41) um thick and two-layered. Micropyle, polar granule and oocyst residuum are absent. Sporocysts are ellipsoid 12.6 x 9.3 (10.9-14.1 x 7.6-10.0) um. Sporocyst residuum is present. The sporocysts lack a stieda body. Sporozoites are banana shaped blunt at one end and tapered at the second end. Eimeria species from Lacertidae are compared.
