''Microceratus'' (meaning "small-horned") is a genus of small ceratopsian dinosaur that lived in the Cretaceous period in Asia. It walked on two legs, had short front arms, a characteristic ceratopsian frill and beak-like mouth, and was maybe long. It was one of the first ceratopsians, or horned dinosaurs, along with ''Psittacosaurus'' in Mongolia. The type species, ''Microceratops gobiensis'', was first described by Bohlin in 1953. However, the generic name was already preoccupied by an ichneumon wasp (subfamily Gelinae) with the same name. Though much of the material has since been reassigned to the genus ''Graciliceratops'', a replacement name ''Microceratus'' was created by Mateus in 2008 for the type specimen. ==Classification== ''Microceratus'' belonged to the Ceratopsia (Ancient Greek for "horned face"), a group of herbivorous dinosaurs with parrot-like beaks which thrived in North America and Asia during the Cretaceous Period, which ended roughly 66 million years ago. All ceratopsians became extinct at the end of this era.
