Taxonomic status of the genera Discolaimus, Discolaimium and Discolaimoides is discussed and these are accommodated under the family Discolaimidae after suitably ammending the diagnosis of the latter. For the species earlier included either in Discolaimus or Discolaimoides having mono-opisthodelphic female gonad a separate new genus is proposed and diagnosed alongwith the description of a new species. Discolaimium dubium Das et al, 1969 is being accommodated in a newly proposed genus. A key to the genera of Discolaimidae is provided.
