Dentizetes rudentiger Hammer, 1952 Geographic Location: YT: Ivvavik NP, British Mtns, 69°15'N, 140°09'W (Behan-Pelletier 1986; Behan- Pelletier 1997b); BC: Interior (Battigelli et al. 2004); Mt. Cain (Fagan et al. 2005); AB: Kananaskis Country, Fortress Mountain; Banff NP; Jasper NP, Athabasca Glacier; Waterton Lakes NP (Hammer, 1952b; Behan- Pelletier 1986); Kananaskis Forest Experiment Station, Seebe (Powell 1971; Powell & Skaley 1975; Powell et al. 1972); Jasper, near railway station (Hammer 1952b); ABMI Sites (Walter et al. 2014). Habitats: dry tundra; boreal forest litter; Amabilis fir, aspen litter; subalpine spruce, willow litter; White pine bark, litter; under bark of spruce infested with Dendroctonus and Ips; cankers of comandra blister rust. Distribution: Western Nearctic. Genus Diapterobates Grandjean, 1936 Remarks: Diapterobates was included in Humerobatidae by Subías (2004), without explanation. We retain Diapterobates in Ceratozetidae, based on morphology of its immatures (Behan-Pelletier 1986), which is unlike that of Humerobates (Grandjean 1970).
