Prosopistoma someshwarensis n. sp. is described based on larvae collected from the streams of central Western Ghats, and P. indicum Peters, 1967 is redescribed based on fresh material from additional localities of the southern and central Western Ghats of peninsular India. A brief discussion on their ecology and biogeography, and a key to the Indian species of Prosopistoma, are also provided. The Indian species may be distinguished from one another based on the segmentation of the antennae, carapace colourations, the setation of the tibiae and mandibular canines, and the morphology of gills 2.
基于从西高止山脉中部溪流采集的幼虫，描述了新物种索梅什瓦尔Prosopistoma（Prosopistoma someshwarensis），并根据来自印度半岛西高止山脉南部和中部其他地点的新鲜材料，重新描述了1967年彼得斯描述的印度Prosopistoma（Prosopistoma indicum）。还提供了关于它们的生态学和生物地理学的简要讨论，以及印度Prosopistoma物种的检索表。印度的这些物种可以根据触角的分节、头胸甲颜色、胫节和下颌犬齿的刚毛以及第二鳃的形态相互区分。
