Ibalonius inscriptus is a species of harvestmen from the family Podoctidae. The species is endemic to Mahe Island and Silhouette Island of the Seychelles. 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 Arthur Stanley Hirst (1911), as followed in other catalogs and listings (e.g. WCO). ^[3] Similarly, another form described as Paribalonius bimaculatus duplex Roewer 1923 was also treated as a synonym by Staręga (1992).
