Anurapteryx
Anurapteryx is a genus of moths in the family Sematuridae, established by Hampson in 1918. Members of this genus belong to a small, specialized family of Lepidoptera characterized by distinctive wing venation and resting postures. The genus is part of the superfamily Geometroidea, though Sematuridae is often treated as a distinct lineage within this group. Anurapteryx species are poorly documented in scientific literature, with limited published information on their biology and ecology.
Anurapteryx crenulata
Crenulatewinged Grasshopper
Anurapteryx crenulata is a moth species in the family Sematuridae, originally described from North America. The species was previously classified under the grasshopper genus Cordillacris as C. crenulata, but has since been reclassified to the moth genus Anurapteryx. Very little biological information is available for this species under its current taxonomic placement. Most detailed ecological and behavioral data in the literature refers to the species under its former grasshopper classification.
