Liparis japonica and L. makinoana have been nomenclaturally confused for a long time. Based on a recent DNA sequencing and morphological study, these species appear to be composed of three different entities. Here, we treat the three entities as L. makinoana emend. and two new species, L. suzumushi and L. longiracemosa, with neotypification of L. makinoana. Liparis japonica should be treated as a synonym of Malaxis monophyllos, based on the original description of the former. (Tsutsumi et al. 2019. Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 45: 107–118)
