Remarks. Originally described as Cyclocoleum straightum Khan, 1935, this species was considered to be a synonym of Cyclocoelum ovopunctatum Stossich, 1902 (= Selfcoelum ovopunctatum [Stossich, 1902] n. comb.) by Dubois (1965) and of Cyclocoelum obscurum (Leidy, 1887) by Macko (1964). Morishitium sharadi was originally described as Cyclocoelum sharadi Bhalerao, 1935 (= Cyclocoelum [ Cyclocoelum] sharadi of Bashkirova, 1950) from the yellow-billed blue or gold-billed magpie, Urocissa flavirostris (Blyth) ( Passeriformes: Corvidae), also from India. Dronen & Tkach (2014) transferred this species to Morishitium and synonymized it with M. straightum . Morishitium straightum has an intertesticular ovary that forms a straight line with the nearly tandem testes (Hyptiasminae), a postpharyngeal genital pore and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly, placing it in Morishitium . Rudimentary oral sucker present—Bhalerao (1935) and Khan (1935).
