Indoribates (I.) carneus ( Tseng, 1984) : Subías 2004, updated 2021: 400.

Distribution. China (Taiwan).

Remarks. As mentioned above, according to the original illustration, the species has four pairs of genital setae. Consequently, it should be placed in Lauritzenia . Subías (2004, 2022) listed the species in the genus Indoribates , possibly due to the original description, in which Tseng (1984) stated there are five pairs of genital setae, but four pairs in the illustration. Considering the error in the original description, such as the claim that the species has one pair of anal setae, which is inconsistent with the diagnosis of haplozetid species and the illustration of the species. Therefore, we refer to the original illustration to identify the species.

Lauritzenia is feminine, and the adjectival specific epithet must also be feminine; hence carneus is revised to carnea .
