Rhopalozetes BALOGH, 1962

The original interpretation of the genus was altered by SUBIAS (2004) in his catalogue. Only a small portion of the relegated species comes from the Neotropics, consequently, the genus may be considered as circumtropical, although its representatives have not yet been ascertained from the Australian faunal region. The elaboration of this comparatively species-rich genus needs a larger revisionary work, which surpasses the limits of the present contribution. The herewith described two new species are easily distinguished from the other congeners anyway.
