Two new species viz., <i>Metachromadoroides champensis </i><strong>sp. nov.</strong>, distinguishable from congeners by the presence of 14–19 pairs of precloacal supplements and two pairs of post-anal ventral protuberances on tail, and <i>Metachromadoroides hamatus</i> <strong>sp. nov.</strong> distinguishable from congeners by the presence of arcuated spicules with distal hook, and gubernaculum with dorsal apophysis distally bent, are described herein with light microscopic images and illustrations.
