Pharaxonotha is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. thumb|Pharaxonotha kirschii
==Description== Pharaxonotha are long and wide. They have large eyes and the "clubs" (enlarged ends) of their antennas have three segments. Most species are pale yellow-brown to medium brown in color, but some have elytra (the hardened fore-wings of beetles) that are black to dark-brown or with black to dark-brown spots. Differentiation between species of Pharaxonotha depends on part on details of the female genitalia.
