Genus Gondvanocoleus Ponomarenko , n. gen.

LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:440700C4­C127­4195­926D­EBBCF7B29C82 .

Type species: Gondavanocoleus chikatunovi n. sp.

Diagnosis: Elytron convex (judging from unnaturally shaped margins), with three main veins and four fields. Vein 2 reaching ¾ elytral length, other veins end before it with vein 1 being shortest. Elytral fields with 1–6 rows of cells at midlength, with up to 3 rows at base of second field and 5 rows at base of marginal field (field 4). Cells are quadrangular or pentagonal, noticeably wider than veins, with well visible tubercles in cell margins.

Comparison: The new genus differs from other members of Asiocoleidae in having a single row of cells in the middle part of field 3 and in peculiar, uniformly arranged cells near the elytral apex.

Remark: This elytron was provisionally attributed to the genus Tetracoleus Ponomarenko, 2009 (Ponomarenko 2013).
