Proleptonchoides southindiae Ferris et al., 1979 is described based on three populations comprising large number of females collected from the Western Ghats, India and one population comprising three females and a male from Porto-Novo, Benin. New morphological and morphometric data are provided, along with light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and first description of its male. A comparison of present populations with type population as well as Proleptonchoides equistylus Dhanam and Jairajpuri, 1999 is made and P. equistylus is regarded as a junior synonym of P. southindiae. The male is characterized by 1.1 mm long body, 31.5 μm long spicules and three irregularly spaced ventromedian supplements. The diagnosis of the genus Proleptonchoides is amended.

Proleptonchoides southindiae Ferris et al., 1979 基于三个种群进行描述，该种群包括从印度西高止山脉收集的大量雌性，以及一个种群，包括三只雌性和来自贝宁新港的雄性。提供了新的形态学和形态测量数据，以及光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜和对其雄性的首次描述。将现有种群与类型种群以及Proleptonchoides equistylus Dhanam 和 Jairajpuri, 1999 进行比较，将P. equistylus视为P. southindiae的初级同义词。雄性的特点是体长 1.1 毫米，长 31.5 微米的针状体和三个不规则间隔的腹正中补充物。属的诊断Proleptonchoides被修正。
