Description
Genus Ceratonotha gen. nov.
Type species Ceratonotha danica sp. nov., present designation
Species included: Ceratonotha danica sp. nov. and Ceratonotha mumia (Alekseev & Bukejs, 2017) comb. nov.
Etymology. Ceratonotha is a mixed name indicating a potential association of a fossil European cycad genus, Ceratozamia, with a Pharaxonothinae. Gender feminine.
Diagnosis. Ceratonotha is distinguished from other genera of Pharaxonothinae by the combination of the following characters: presence of the supraocular line, the absence of the marginal line at midwidth of the anterior pronotal margin, the presence of a thickened lateral pronotal carina that is complete from anterior to posterior angles, the presence of posterolateral sulci on pronotal disc, the presence of the basal marginal bead of the elytra, the first metatarsomere width about one third of length, tarsomeres 1–3 not widened and lacking a ventral lobe, and the fourth metatarsomere long, only slightly shorter than the previous tarsomere.
