The species has a synonymous name Ibalonius bimaculatus which as of 2024, remains listed as such on the IUCN database, despite being considered the same species by Hirst (1911), as followed in other catalogs and listings (e.g. WCO).{{Aut|Kury, A.B.}}, {{Aut|Mendes, A.C.}}, {{Aut|Cardoso, L.}}, {{Aut|Kury, M.S.}}, {{Aut|Granado, A.de A.}}, {{Aut|Giribet, G.}}, {{Aut|Cruz-López J.A.}}, {{Aut|Longhorn, S.J.}}, {{Aut|Medrano, M.}}, {{Aut|Oliveira, A.B.R. de}}, {{Aut|Kury, I.S.}} & {{Aut|Souza-Kury, M.A.}} (2023) [https://wcolite.com/ World Catalogue of Opiliones. WCO-Lite version 2.6.]. Similarly, another form described as Paribalonius bimaculatus duplex Roewer 1923 was also treated as a synonym by Staręga (1992).
