Summary

Orthocoelium indonesiense n. sp. is described from specimens collected from the rumina of Bos indicus and Ovis sp. in Yogyakarta Special Territory, Indonesia. It is closely related to Orthocoelium streptocoelium (Fischoeder, 1901), O. scoliocoelium var. benoiti (Grétillat, 1966) and O. narayanai (Gupta & Gupta, 1972) but can be distinguished from all three by the structure of the acetabulum, genital atrium and oesophagus, the length of the pars prostatica and the extent of the excretory vesicle. Gastrothylax glandiformis Yamaguti, 1939 is reported for the first time from Indonesia.
