This is the second part of a revision of the most plesiomorphic genera in the amphipod family Stenothoidae sensu lato (see Krapp-Schickel and Koenemann 2006 for an overview and Krapp-Schickel 2008 for the fi rst part). 41 species not belonging to Metopoides were plotted in a matrix using the same 61 characters as in the fi rst part. Th e resulting group of Proboloides species (most probably not existing in the Austral- Antarctic region) is discussed, a key for the members given and two new genera erected. Some species described as Proboloides are redescribed and 2 species transferred to Metopoides. A key for all actual members of Proboloides and a revised key for Metopoides is added. Th e remaining species, i.e. those actually being in the genera Torometopa and Scaphodactylus, will be dealt with in the fi nal part of this series, together with a key to all of them. Keywords Stenothoidae sensu lato; systematics; phylogenetic analysis; gen. Proboloides; Malvinometopa gen. n.; Victometopa gen. n.; Victometopa rorida sp. n.
