Truncaptera inopinata is a species of moth in the family Notodontidae (prominent moths), described by Draudt in 1932 under the basionym Lirimiris inopinata. The species belongs to the subfamily Stauropinae, a group characterized by distinctive larval morphology. As a member of the Notodontidae family, it is part of a diverse lineage of moths whose larvae often exhibit modified abdominal segments and defensive behaviors. The genus Truncaptera is relatively small and understudied, with T. inopinata being one of few documented species.
