Abstract

Adults and immatures of Ceratozetes kananaskis n. sp. from Alberta, Canada, are described and figured with line drawings and scanning electron micrographs. Specimens of C. kananaskis are similar to those of C. peritus Grandjean, but these two species can easily be separated by the pattern of the dorsal macrosclerites in the immatures.
