SYNOPSIS Eimeria angusta Allen, 1934 and E. bonasae Allen, 1934 are redescribed from a ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus. Oocysts of E. angusta were ellipsoidal to elongate ovoid, had micropyles and were 28-37 by 15-19 μ (mean 32.5 by 17.1 μ), with a length-width ratio of 1.67-2.19 (mean 1.91). Eimeria bonasae oocysts were spherical to subspherical and 18-25 by 18-23 μ (mean 21.6 by 20.6), with a length-width ratio of 1.00-1.16 (mean 1.05).
