Two new genera from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Beipiao City, Liaoning Province,
northeastern China are described and illustrated. Paracretocateres gen. nov. (type species P. bellus, sp.
nov.) and Yixianteres gen. nov. (type species Y. beipiaoensis sp. nov.) are assigned to the subfamily
Lophocaterinae based on the state of the procoxae which are not projecting, the transverse procoxal
cavities, and the exposed protochantins. The new taxa broaden the diversity of this family and provide
further morphological characters for phylogenetic studies of Trogossitidae. They also provide evidence
that lophocaterines well-diversified prior to the trogossitines and their biologies may have been similar
to extant forms.
