A population of Schistonchus caprifici was recovered from syconia of Ficus palmata grown in New Delhi (India). The population was identified based on morphological and molecular characteristics. The morphological and morphometric features of the Schistonchus population from Ficus palmata were found to be consistent with the original and subsequent descriptions of S. caprifici. This comprehensive morphological study of S. caprifici from India has added additional information on morphological and morphometric characters, such as lip shape, stylet, vulva position from anterior end, spermatheca, anal/cloacal body diameter, vulval structure, and ovary/testis length. In addition, some morphological descriptions including spicule shape and gubernaculum in males, vulval lips and vaginal lines, post-uterine sac, tale shape, and terminus are amended. The identification of this population was further confirmed by using sequences of the D2-D3 region of 28S rDNA (LSU), 18S rDNA (SSU) and COI of mtDNA, and its phylogenetic relationship with the S. caprifici from Turkey, Spain, Italy, and other species from around the world was established. A tabular key for the species under the genus Schistonchus is provided.
