During May and July 2016, 32 eastern small-footed myotis ( Myotis leibii ) were collected from five counties of northwestern Arkansas and their faeces examined for coccidian parasites. Four of 32 (13%)  M. leibii  harboured an eimerian that we describe here as new. Oocysts of  Eimeria sassei  sp. n. were ovoidal to ellipsoidal with a bi-layered wall and measured (length × width, L × W) 18.3 × 15.2 µm, with an L/W ratio of 1.2. A micropyle and oocyst residuum were absent but 1–2 polar granules were present. Sporocysts were ovoidal, 9.6 × 6.3 µm, with an L/W ratio of 1.5. A pronounced, button-like Stieda body was present but substieda and parastieda bodies were absent. A sporocyst residuum was present as distinct aligned or dispersed granules. One bat that we found dead was examined for helminth parasites. It harbored the tapeworm,  Vampirolepis  sp. and a nematode,  Seuratum cancellatum . This is the first coccidian as well as the second helminths reported from  M. leibii . In addition, this is the seventh species of coccidian parasite documented from Arkansas bats.
