Type species. Anomocephalobus liuhaoi sp. nov., by present designation and monotypy.

Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Greek “ anomos ”, meaning unusual, and part of the generic name “ Cephalobyrrhus ”, the type genus of Cephalobyrrhinae , referring to the fossil’s somewhat unsual habitus within extant Cephalobyrrhinae . The name is masculine in gender.

Diagnosis. Body relatively wide, oval. Ventral surface without grooves for reception of legs. Head largely covered by pronotum; anterior pronotal edges reaching compound eyes. Antennal insertion capsule closed. Antennomeres 1–3 slender and elongate; antennomeres 4–11 serrate. Posterior pronotal angles rounded; posterior pronotal margin and basal elytral margin crenulate. Prosternal process broad, distinctly wider than one third of maximum width of prosternum. Metacoxae transverse and without large metacoxal plates. All legs with five tarsomeres.
