This paper describes three new species of Isospora from Pycnonotus 1eucogenys in Saudi Arabia ( I. gatifenensis sp.n.; I. khobarensis sp.n. and I. hafoufenensis sp.n.). Sporulated oocyats of I. gatifenensis are ovoidal, 23‐26.5 ± 16.5‐19(25.03 ± 0.12 ± 18.13 ± 0.09))μm and sporocysts are elongated ovoidal 17‐20.5 ± 8‐11 (18.9 ± 0.09 ± 9.3 ± 0.07) μm. Sporulated oocysts of I. khobarensis are ovoidal 22‐26 ± 15.5‐19 (24.3 ± 0.18 ± 17.1 ± 0.19)μm and sporocysts are pyriform 13‐16 ± 9‐11.5 (14.8 ± 0.15 ± 9.9 ± 0.13)μm. Sporulated oocysts of I. hafoufenensis are ovoidal 22‐27 ± 19‐24(25.4 ± 0.25 ± 22.1 ± 0.26) μm and sporocysts are ovoidal 14.5‐18 ± 8‐13 (16.5 ± 0.14 ± 11.4 ± 0.18) μm.
