Cretopseudopsis View in CoL gen. nov.
Type species. Cretopseudopsis maweii View in CoL sp. nov., by original designation.
Etymology. The generic epithet is a combination of the Latin ‘ creta ’ (=chalk), the root of ‘Cretaceous’, and the genus Pseudopsis , the type genus of the subfamily Pseudopsinae .
Diagnosis. Head not carinate. Apical maxillary palpomere half as wide distally as the penultimate segment at apex. Subocular carinae absent. Temples short, shorter than eye length. Maxillary palpi distinctly elongate, reaching to the base of the fourth antennomere. Lateral margin of pronotum smoothly rounded, not serrate. Protrochantin barely visible. Mesocoxae separated by an elongate process of the mesoventrite. Mesoventrite carinate mid-longitudinally. Posterior margin of elytra sinuate, with lateral portion deeply incised.
