Extract

Three new species of Isospora from Australian lizards are described, viz. Isospora amphiboluri from Amphibolurus barbatus (Agamidae), I. egerniae from Egernia whitii (Scincidae), and I. ablephari from Ablepharus boutonii (Scincidae) and Heteronota bineoi (Gekkonidae). A further Isospora sp. is mentioned from Phyllurus cornutus (Gekkonidae). A table of comparative data of lacertilian Isospora is given, and also a host check-list.

I would like to thank Miss J. Arnold of the Department of Zoology, University of Western Australia, for her identification of many of the lizards, and Miss S. Curtis for her drawings. Finally I wish to thank Dr H. M. D. Hoyte, Department of Parasitology, University of Queensland, for his interest, and helpful criticism of the manuscript.
