Ceratonotha danica gen. nov., sp. nov., a new genus and species of Erotylidae (Coleoptera), is described and illustrated from Eocene Danish amber. Ceratonotha is morphologically similar to fossil erotylids from European amber, differing from them mainly in the length of the 4th tarsomere. Cycadophila mumia Alekseev & Bukejs, 2017, described from Baltic amber, belongs in this new genus and is here transferred, becoming Ceratonotha mumia (Alekseev & Bukejs) comb. nov..
