species –
Cyranozetes nasalis
sp. n.
Remarks– The new taxon belongsto the family of
Ceratozetidae
GRANDJEAN
, 1963
and on the basis of the broad and dentate tutorium it resembles the genus
Cyrtozetes
BEHAN-PELLETIER
, 1985
and
Ceresella
PAVLITSHENKO
, 1993
. It stands nearer to
Cyrtozetes
(posterior notogastral tectum undivided), but it differs from the latter by the presence of the divided rostrum, the translamella and the long custodium.
