(Figs. 23–26, 85) <b>Type locality.</b> Myanmar, Sagaing Division, Alaungdaw Katthapa National Park, 22°19.113′N 94°28.518′E, about 350 m a.s.l. <b>Type material.</b> HOLOTYPE: J, ‘ MYANMAR: Sagaing Division Alaungdaw Katthapa NP 22°19.113′N 94°28.518′E 3.- 13.5.2003, ca. 350 m, light, leg. Boukal &amp; Schillhammer (101)’ (NHMW). <b>Description. <i>Male</i></b> (holotype). Body length 3.1 mm. Head and pronotum reddish brown. Elytra somewhat paler, with rather vague brownish markings (Fig. 85); triangular basal spot, paired subapical spots and transverse band at about mid-length, vaguely connected along suture and forming cross-shaped marking. Legs and antennae reddish. Head finely, pronotum rather coarsely, evenly punctured. Elytra rather glossy; basal half punctation similar to that on pronotum dorsally, punctures very coarse, distinctly spaced. Body setation rather long and conspicuous, mostly subdecumbent to decumbent; pronotum with numerous conspicuously long, suberect to erect setae, especially antero-laterally; setation of elytra generally somewhat more raised, decumbent, with numerous, moderately longer, suberect setae. Head vertex, except of long erect setae, with a paired row of short, thick spines articulated along lateral carinae. Antebasal setose band of pronotum sparse and inconspicuous. Head with rather medium-sized eyes. Antennae moderately long, only moderately enlarged in terminal third. Pronotum nearly as wide as head across eyes, rather globose in dorsal view; transverse sulcus / impression of posterior collar shortly wrinkled. Pronotal horn moderately long and slender, largely subparallel, armed with 3–4 distinctly protruding lateral lobules on each side and simple, moderately wider apical lobule; horn crest only moderately raised, evenly lowering towards horn apex, its lateral margins rather distinctly marked by series of somewhat coarser, contiguous to fused lobules / rugules (forming short, crenulate fringe); dorsal surface evenly and rather densely covered with distinct rounded rugules. Elytra 2.1 times as long as wide; humeri distinctly protruding; omoplates moderately indicated and postbasal impression nearly indistinct; elytral apices simple. Legs simple. Abdominal sternum VII moderately emarginate postero-medially (Fig. 23). Tergum VIII slightly angulately produced apically (Fig. 24). Aedeagus as figured (Fig. 25, 26). <b> <i>Female</i>.</b> Unknown. <b>Differential diagnosis.</b> <i>Notoxus katthapa</i> sp. nov. is well-characterized by the simple elytral apices in males, vague markings of elytra, narrow pronotal horn with conspicuous lobules on margins, and coarse punctation of both the elytra and pronotal disc. <b>Etymology.</b> Named after the type locality. Noun in apposition. <b>Distribution.</b> Myanmar.
