A new coccidian species, Eimeria erythrorhynchosi n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) collected from the American white pelican Pelecanus erythrorhynchos Gmelin 1789, is reported from Toluca city, Mexico. Sporulated oocysts of the new species are ovoidal, 17.5–19.6 × 14.1−14.8 (18.5 × 14.5) μm, with a length/width (L/W) ratio of 1.0–1.5 (1.25); micropyle present, robust and protruding, W : 4.5–5.5, and polar body (1 or 2), L × W : 2.5 (2–3), associated with the micropyle; oocyst residuum absent. Sporocysts are ovoidal, 10.1–11.2 × 6.4−7.1 (10.7 × 6.8) μm, with a length/width (L/W) ratio of 1.0–1.6 (1.3); Stieda and sub-Stieda bodies are both present, but para-Stieda body is absent; sporocyst residuum of diffuse granules. Sporozoites are vermiform, 9.6 × 2.4 μm. The new species is the seventh species of Eimeria recorded in Pelecaniformes and the third in Pelecanidae. The American white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) wintering at Toluca, Mexico (Macaulay Library ML 574130791). Unsporulated and sporulated oocysts of a Eimeria erythrorhynchosi n. sp. Scale-bar : 10 μm. [Display omitted] • Eimeria erythrorhynchosi n. sp. represents the first species of Eimeria infecting the American white pelican. • The new species is the third species of Eimeria recorded in pelicans of the genus Pelecanus in the New World.
