SYNOPSIS.Eimeria bateri Bhatia, Pandey, Pande, 1965 is described from the Hungarian quail Coturnix c. coturnix for the first time in the U.S. Its oocysts are either ellipsoidal or ovoid, 14–28 by 12–19 μ with a mean of 20.5 by 15.3 μ. Its sporocysts are elongate ovoid, with a Stieda body, 8–12 by 6–9 μ with a mean of 10.3 by 7.5 μ. Two coccidia‐free chicks 8 days old were inoculated with 50,000 oocysts each of E. bateri , but patent infections did not occur. This coccidium is therefore presumably host‐specific.
