In addition to the 26 nominal species and one subspecies above (some of them may turn out to be synonyms of each other), the following two species can probably also be assigned to Riukiaria : “ Pachydesmus ” attemsi Wang, 1960 ( Taiwan, Yan Ming Shan), and Sinoria tianmu Tanabe, Ishii and Yin, 1996 ( China, Zhejiang Prov., Tian-mu Mts.). Here we present the descriptions of two new species, both from the Ryukyu Archipelago which gave its name to the entire genus ( Verhoeff 1936).
