During a recent survey on the protozoan blood parasites of some Egyptian reptiles, 61.04% of Acanthodactylus boskianus collected from Damietta Governorate had a hitherto undescribed species of haemogregarine which is described below as Haemogregarina damiettae sp. n. The parasitaemia was exceptionally high, allowing for detailed morphological study of various blood forms of the parasite. These stages are compared with the corresponding forms described before from Bose’s lizard.
