Abstract: Coprological examination of 10 pink-ringed tent turtles Kachuga tentoria circumdata, recently imported from India, and 3 Burmese black turtles Melanochelys trijuga edeniana, imported from Myanmar, revealed the presence of 2 new species of Eimeria. Oocysts of Eimeria kachua sp. nov., from K. t. circumdata were broadly oval to subspherical, 15.3 (13-18) × 13.9 (12-16) µm, with polar granule and subspherical oocyst residuum. Sporocyst were long and oval to spindle-shaped, 8.7 (7.5-10) × 4.9 (4-6) µm, with a knoblike Stieda body, covered with fine membranous cupola-like structures. Thin walled oocysts of Eimeria patta sp. nov., from M. t. edeniana, have an irregular shape, influenced by the position of sporocysts, frequently with lobular irregularities, 12.6 (11-16) × 9.1 (7.5-12) µm. Sporocysts were oval to ellipsoidal, 5.8 (5-7) × 4.2 (3.5-5) µm.
