- the micropyle is somewhat broader (7-9 p) relative to that of

E. babatica sp. n.; - the oocysts are usually longer than 30 p, and more than 20 p in width; - the sporocysts are much longer (16. 5-20 p). 2. E. hungarica Pellérdy, 1956 (Figs. 2C, 3C, 4C) - always has an oocyst residuum (1.5- 6 ju); - its micropyle is inconspicuous and very narrow (3. 5 - 4. 5 }i) relative to that found in E. babatica; - the transversal oocyst diameter is always less than 16 u; - the sporocysts are always less than 13 p long. 3. E. leporis (Nieschulz, 1923) (Fig. 4D) - always has an oocyst residuum (4-7 JJ); - the inside of the oocyst is pale orange (salmon) coloured; - the micropyle is indistinct and narrow (average: 5 u) relative to E. babatica; - the oocysts are usually more than 30 ,u in length, and less than 17 p in width. 4. E. belorussica Litvenkova, 1969 (presence or absence of an oocysts residuum in this species has not been established): - the oocyst wall is light brown; - the micropyle, of unknown dimension, occurs on the blunter oocyst pole; - the oocysts never exceed 16 yx in width.
