Two new morphologically similar species of the subgenus Procamallanus (Spirocamallanus) (Nematoda: Camallanidae) possessing 2 caudal spikes are described from the intestine of marine perciform fishes from the Gulf of Thailand off the Thai coast, i.e., P. (S.) rigbyi n. sp. from Otolithes ruber (Sciaenidae) and P. (S.) similis n. sp. from Sillago sihama (Sillaginidae). Spirocotyle Yasmin and Bilqees, 2007 is considered a junior synonym of Procamallanus Baylis, 1923. Since P. (S.) otolithi Ashraf, Farooq and Khanum, 1977, P. (S.) otolithi (Gupta and Garg, 1986) and P. (S.) otolithi (Yasmin and Bilqees, 2007) are junior homonyms to P. (S.) otolithi Bilqees and Kazmi, 1974, they are renamed P. (S.) pakistanensis n. nom., P. (S.) problematicus n. nom., and P. (S.) incognitus n. nom., respectively (all species inquirendae). Procamallanus rigbyi and P. similis are the first nominal species of this genus reported from marine fishes off the coast of Thailand.
