Abstract A diagnosis of the monostiliferous hoplonemertean genus Prosadenoporus is provided and the type-species, P. arenarius, is redescribed and illustrated from Malaysian material; this identification is related to Bürger's (1890) original description. The remaining four species can on present evidence neither be accepted as valid taxa nor regarded with certainty as synonymous with P. arenarius; they are accordingly designated as nomina dubia. A comparison between Prosadenoporus, Prosorhochmus and the group I genera of terrestrial nemerteans (Geonemertes, Pantinomemertes) indicates that they belong in the same family, Prosorhochmidae, and a definition of this family is given.
