| abstract | Phyllocarabodes costaricensis sp. nov. and Zimbabweae kenyaensis sp. nov. are described using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. For Phyllocarabodes costaricensis sp. nov., a detailed description is provided, along with a discussion on the position of Phyllocarabodes as subgenus within the genus Carabodes. We conclude that Phyllocarabodes, with a series of particular characteristics, is a distinct genus and not a subgenus of Carabodes. The genus Phyllocarabodes is redefined. Zimbabweae kenyaensis sp. nov. is closely related to Zimbabweae pluosiae Fernandez, Theron, Leiva 2016, exhibiting the following distinctive characters: shape of prodorsal zone promontories different; associated structures and trajectory of circumgastric depression dissimilar; pedotectum I, pedotectum II and discidium differ in shape; dissimilar disposition of promontories; differences in ventral and epimeral zones. |
