Abstract
Two isosporan species are described from the feces of the ocellated woodcreeper, Xiphorhynchus ocellatus (Passeriformes: Dendrocolaptidae) collected in Ecuador. Isospora ocellatisp. n. sporulated oocysts are ovoidal, double-layered, 20×17 (18-21×15-19) pm with one polar body and no micropyle or residuum. The sporocysts are ovoidal, 12×8 (11-13×7-9) pm with dome-shaped Stieda bodies, compressed, bubble-shaped substieda bodies, and usually scattered residuum. Sporozoites are sausage-shaped with central nucleus and posterior refractile body. Isospora striata sp. n. oocysts are ovoidal, double-layered, 18x16 (16-20x15-17) pm with one polar body and no micropyle or residuum. The sporocysts are ovoidal 11×7 (11-12×7-8) Nm with nipple-shaped Stieda bodies, rectangular-shaped substieda bodies, and spherical, compact, residuum. Sporozoites are elongate, tapered anteriorly with large posterior refractile body, small central nucleus, and concentric rings around anterior half of body.
