Original host: Sorex asper Thomas, 1914, Tien Shan shrew.

Remarks: This description was published as a one paragraph note in a book about Kashkstan Lawra and the problems of its protection. Oocysts were ovoid with a smooth wall consisting of 2 layers, ~2.0, with the inner layer thicker than the outer; L x W: 28.0 x 19.0 (24-30 x 17-21); L/W ratio: 1.4; M: present, ~5.7 wide; OR: present; sporocysts were ovoid; L x W: 15.5 x 10.0; SP: bean-shaped, 10 x 3. Sporulation "continues for 2-3 days." His description lacked both a line drawing and/or photomicrograph of a sporulated oocyst. This form, therefore, must be regarded as a species inquirendae.
