The lectotype of Amebachia baibarana Uchida, 1928, which is the type species of Amebachia Uchida, was re‐examined. Though this species was synonymized with Netelia ( Netelia ) laevis (= Paniscus laevis Cameron, 1905) and Amebachia has been synonymized under the subgenus Netelia of the genus Netelia , it is concluded that A. baibarana is a distinct species from N. laevis and Amebachia should be a subgenus of the genus Netelia . Netelia laevis is transferred from the subgenus Netelia to Apatagium . Four new species of Netelia ( Amebachia ), N . ( A .) yoshimatsui sp. nov., N . ( A .) rasilella sp. nov., N . ( A .) fulvistigma sp. nov., and N . ( A .) vicinalis sp. nov. are described from Japan, and a key to the species of this subgenus is provided.
