Description

Two new species of the genus Stenocranus Fieber, 1866 and Ceratocranus Fujinuma & Hayashi, 2025, S. fodingshanensis Tang, Li & Chen, sp. nov. and C. huaxiensis Tang, Li & Chen, sp. nov., are described and illustrated from China (Guizhou). A key to all known Chinese Stenocranus and Ceratocranus species, and ecological photos of the two new species, are provided.
