Klossiella hydromyos from the kidney of an Australian water rat (Hydromys chrysogaster) is reported as a new species. Numerous examples of the various stages of the sporogonic cycle were observed in the epithelium of the kidney tubules. In addition there were also schizonts, mainly in the glomeruli and to a lesser extent in the renal vessels
