| abstract | A new genus and species, Sacculozetes filosus, is described from riparian grassland in the Soviet Far East, and a new species, Guatemalozetes danos, is described from shortgrass and alpine prairie in western North America, both on the basis of adults. The genus Guatemalozetes Mahunka is redefined; this is the first record of this genus from temperate North America. A close relationship is indicated between Sacculozetes and Lamellobates Hammer, Paralamellobates Bhaduri and Raychaudhuri, and Hypozetes Balogh. The uncertain family placement of Sacculozetes and Guatemalozetes within the Ceratozetoidea is discussed. Adults of both genera exhibit character states of the Mycobatidae, but until immatures are discovered, they are considered unplaced genera in the superfamily. |
