''Asiaceratops'' (meaning "Asian horned face") is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur. It lived during the Late Cretaceous. Its fossils have mainly been found in Uzbekistan; a referred species is known from China and Mongolia. ==Discovery and naming== The type species, ''Asiaceratops salsopaludalis'', was formally described by Lev Nesov, L.F. Kaznyshkina and Gennadiy Olegovich Cherepanov in 1989. The generic name combines a reference to Asia with ''~ceratops'', "horned face". The specific name means "of the salt marsh" in Latin. In the same publication ''Microceratops sulcidens'' Bohlin 1953 was renamed into a second species of ''Asiaceratops'': ''Asiaceratops sulcidens''.〔L.A. Nessov, L F. Kaznyshkina, and G.O. Cherepanov. 1989. (ceratopsian dinosaurs and crocodiles of central Asia ). In: Bogdanova and Khozatskii (eds.), ''Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Modern Palaeontology'' pp 144-154〕 The holotype of ''Asiaceratops salsopaludalis'', CCMGE 9/12457, was found in Uzbekistan in a layer of the Khodzhakul Formation dating from the early Cenomanian, about ninety-nine million years old. It consists of a part of a left maxilla. Some other fragments were in 1989 referred to the species, among them teeth and a phalanx. In 1995 Nesov referred more material, from three Uzbek sites, mostly skull elements and a partial humerus, of individuals of different ages.〔L.A. Nessov, 1995, ''Dinozavri severnoi Yevrazii: Novye dannye o sostave kompleksov, ekologii i paleobiogeografii'', Institute for Scientific Research on the Earth's Crust, St. Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg 156 pp〕 ''Asiaceratops'' has often been considered a ''nomen dubium'', in view of the limited holotype material.〔H. You and P. Dodson. 2004. "Basal Ceratopsia". In: D.B. Weishampel, H. Osmolska, and P. Dodson (eds.), ''The Dinosauria'' (2nd edition). University of California Press, Berkeley, pp 478-493〕
