A new generic diagnosis for Drymobatoides (Mochlozetidae) is proposed. The taxonomic status of the mochlozetid genus Rykella is discussed, resulting in the proposal that Drymobatoides Jacot, 1936 is a senior subjective synonym of Rykella Balogh, 1962 (n. syn.) and in the following reassignments from Rykella: Drymobatoides asiaticus (Yamamoto and Aoki, 2000) n. comb., D. elamellatus (Berlese, 1916) n. comb., D. insignis (Balogh, 1962) n. comb. A new species of Drymobatoides from the Phillippines is described; D. boronganensis n. sp. differs from D. malabaricus (Clement and Haq, 1982) by the morphology of rostral, lamellar and bothridial setae, the length of the interlamellar seta, and the presence of a ventrodistal rectangular incision on leg femur II. An identification key to the seven known species of Drymobatoides is provided. ER -
