Distribution. China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Taiwan), Brazil. Remarks. Due to possessing five pairs of genital setae, the species should be placed in Indoribates rather than Lauritzenia. Previously, it was placed in Indoribates (Haplozetes) (Shtanchaeva et al. 2014; Subías 2004). Later, Subías (2004, updated 2021) placed it in Indoribates (Indoribates). We support this opinion based on its monodactylous legs.
