This genus is similar to the genera Binaluacris Willemse and Bacuita Strand from Philippines by the presence of outer apical spines on hind tibiae; by tegmina abbreviated; by prosternal spine flattened; by lophi of epiphallus large, trapezium with rounded apex; and by basal and apical penis valves separated, without any sclerotized flexure. However, Pulchricranae gen. nov. differs from Binaluacris by fastigium of vertex with rounded margins; by tegmina shorter and slightly broader; by prosternal spine in male with broadly rounded apex, in female apex with rounded triangular notch in median part; by mesosternal lobe broader than long; by male cerci conical, much narrower near apical part. New genus also differed from Bacuita (known by females only) by female fastigium of vertex strongly short and broad; tegmen broader, with apex rounded; hind femur surpassing the apex of abdomen; subgenital plate with apex nearly truncate. The previously ungrouped genera of the subfamily Catantopinae, Binaluacris and Bacuita, are transferred to the tribe Cranaeini of the subfamily Hemiacridinae based on external morphology and male genitalia. The composition of the tribe Cranaeini is briefly discussed. Orthoptera, Caelifera, grasshoppers, Hemiacridinae, Catantopinae, new taxa, Southeast Asia Pulchricranae mirabilis Pattarawich DAWWRUENG, Sergey YU.

It is similar to C. loloana, but clearly different from C. loloana by having a larger size of capitula, involucre, receptacle, and corolla lobe. In addition, it mostly has fewer florets (18–40 [−50]) per capitulum; lower haft whitish, upper haft purplish corolla tubes; sagittate base anthers; and white except for the purple near apex style. A distribution map, pollen morphology, and a table with comparative morphological characters of the new species and its closest relative are provided, as well as the preliminary conservation assessment under the IUCN criteria.Keywords: classification, conservation assessment, diversity, eastern Thailand, endangered species, flowering plant, plant diversity, taxonomy, Ubon RatchathaniCamchaya khongchiamensis Chatan & Promprom. (A, B) Capitulescences and capitula; (C–E) capitula in lateral, top, and bottom views, respectively; (F) upper side of phyllaries (from left to right: Inner ones to outer ones); (G) under side of phyllary (inner one); (H) receptacle. Camchaya khongchiamensis Chatan & Promprom: (A) Habitat; (B) Habit.Camchaya khongchiamensis Chatan & Promprom Sp.
