<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> This trematode is very similar to </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Procerovum varium</i></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> differing by having a larger expulsor and in having only a few large spines on the gonotyle. It was originally described as </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Monorchotrema calderoni</i></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> from a dog in the Philippines (Africa CM, Garcia EY. 1935. Two more new heterophyid trematodes from the Philippines. Philipp J Sci 57:443-450.). It was later redescribed as </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>Haplorchis calderoni</i></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> (Africa CM. 1938.
