Kararhynchus is an extinct genus of beetles known from the middle Late Jurassic epoch of Kazakhstan. It was first described by Vladimir Zherikhin and Vadim Gratshev in 1994, who included in it a single species, Kararhynchus occiduus from the Karabastau Formation.[1] Two further species, K. gratshevi and K. jurassicus, were described from the same formation by A. A. Legalov in 2012.[2]
