New World flying squirrels, Glaucomys spp., are nocturnal arboreal sciurid rodents that have been previously surveyed for coccidial parasites. To date, 4 species of Eimeria have been reported from 2 species of Glaucomys. Here we report 2 species of eimerians from southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) and the endemic Prince of Wales flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus griseifrons). Oocysts of Eimeria dorneyi Levine and Ivens were found to be passing in the feces of 4 G. s. griseifrons from Alaska and a new species of Eimeria was present in feces from 6 G. volans from Arkansas. Oocysts of Eimeria hnidai n. sp. are ellipsoidal with a bilayered wall, measure 23.7 × 13.7 μm, and have a length/width (L/W) ratio of 1.7; a micropyle and oocyst residuum are absent but polar granule(s) are present. Sporocysts are ellipsoidal-elongate and measure 11.8 × 4.9 μm, L/W 2.2; Stieda body is present but sub-Stieda and para-Stieda bodies are absent. The sporocyst residuum is composed of small indistinct granules along the edge or in the center of the sporocyst. This is the first coccidian reported from G. volans from Arkansas as well as the initial coccidian (E. dorneyi) reported from G. s. griseifrons from Alaska. We also provide a summation of the coccidia known from North American flying squirrels.

飞行松鼠的球虫寄生虫，青光眼属。（Rodentia：Sciuridae），来自阿拉斯加和阿肯色州，描述了一种新的艾美尔球虫（Apicomplexa：Eimeriidae）。

新世界飞鼠，Glaucomys spp。，是夜虫类带虫鼠类动物，以前曾对其球虫进行过调查。迄今为止，已经从2种青光眼中报告了4种艾美球虫。在这里，我们报告了来自南部松鼠（青光眼）和特有的威尔士亲王松鼠（Glaucomys sabrinus griseifrons）的2种本领。发现Eimeria dorneyi Levine和Ivens的卵囊通过4 G. s的粪便。来自阿肯色州的6 G. volans的粪便中存在来自阿拉斯加的灰黄花and和新的艾美叶虫。艾美尔球虫的卵囊。sp。呈椭圆形，壁双层，尺寸为23.7×13.7μm，长/宽（L / W）为1.7；没有一个小孔和卵囊残留物，但存在极性颗粒。孢子囊呈椭圆形，长11。8×4.9μm，长/宽2.2; 存在斯泰达尸体，但不存在亚斯帖达和准斯帖达尸体。孢子囊残体由沿着孢子囊边缘或中心的小的模糊颗粒组成。这是阿肯色州的G. volans报道的第一球虫，也是G. s。的第一球虫（dorneyi）。来自阿拉斯加的灰黄花。我们还提供了从北美松鼠中得知的球虫病的摘要。
