I described
Neoribates rimosus as a new species in 1978, having stated that Japanese neoribatid species which were recorded in that time could be listed as
N. aurantiacus and
N. macrosacculatus.
As a result of adjustment in the present study, it is revealed that
Neoribates aurantiacus sensu AOKI, 1966 is the synonym of
N. roubali (BERLESE, 1910). The Japanese neoribatid species can be resumed as
N. macrosacculatus, N.
rimosus and
N. roubali.
