==Type species==
''{{Taxon name|Alicodoxa rasnitsyni}}'' sp. n.

==Etymology==
The genus and the type species are named in honour of our friend and colleague Prof. Alexandr Rasnitsyn. The grammatical gender is feminine.

==Diagnosis==
Metope not visible in dorsal aspect. Coryphe 1/3 longer than pronotal disc along midline. Pronotum deeply angulately emarginate posteriorly. Lateral carinae of mesonotal disc anteriorly converging at acute angle. Fore femur without subapical tooth. Abdominal tergites IV–V with 1–2 sensory pits displaced forwards from the row of pits. Tergites VI–VII with 2 medial and 2–3 lateral pits. Tergites VI–VIII with large lower and small upper wax plates, upper plate of tergite VII subdivided.

==Remarks==
Similar to the extant genera ''{{Taxon name|Orthopagus}}'' Uhler and ''{{Taxon name|Saigona}}'' Matsumura, but in the nymphs of these latter the metope is visible from above, coryphe longer relative to pronotal disc, pronotum less emarginate posteriorly, and tergites VI–VII with 4 medial and 1–0 lateral pits. Subdivided upper wax plate of tergite VII is unknown in other {{Taxon name|Dictyopharidae}}. Other characters listed under Diagnosis assign the new genus to {{Taxon name|Orthopagini}} within {{Taxon name|Dictyopharinae}} (see Discussion).
