Description (Based on 11 specimens): Body fleshy, broad and rounded anteriorly, more tapered posteriorly; 5.5 to 8 long, 1.4 to 2.2 in greatest width; cuticle smooth; acetabulum embedded in parenchyma, about 4 body length from anterior end, slightly larger than oral sucker, 0.6 to 0.84 in diameter. Gland cells in parenchyma especially numerous just posterior to acetabulum. Oral sucker subterminal, 0.66 to 0.7 in diameter; pharynx large, 0.25 to 0.33 in diameter; prepharynx and esophagus very short or absent; intestinal ceca end blindly near posterior end of body. Testes 11, in a zigzag, median row, mostly in posterior half of body. Seminal vesicle dorsal to acetabulum; cirrus and cirrus sac lacking. Ovary median, pretesticular, close to acetabulum; seminal receptacle close to ovary; vitellaria lateral, extending from level of ovary to posterior end of body; uterus short, between ovary and acetabulum, bending around left side of acetabulum to genital pore situated immediately anterior to and towards left side of acetabulum. Eggs thin-shelled, 0.069 to 0.077 by 0.040 to 0.056. Host: Pseudoscarus harid, locally called "Harid". Locality: Ghardaga Discussion: This species is probably nearest to Schistorchis callyodontis Yamaguti, 1942. It differs from it in the following respects: The acetabulum is slightly larger than the oral sucker, rather than being equal in size; the seminal vesicle is dorsal to the acetabulum rather than posterior to it; the pharynx is larger; the ovary is much nearer the acetabulum; and the genital pore is to the left, rather than median. S. callyodontis is from Callyodon sp. in Japan. Hanson (1953) considered the genus Schistorchis in the family Lepocreadiidae, subfamily Homalometroninae.
