Americerura is a genus of prominent moths in the family Notodontidae. There are about 17 described species in Americerura. As a result of research published in 2023, these species were transferred from the genus Tecmessa, creating the genus Americerura. [1]

Species

These 17 species belong to Americerura:

  • Americerura annulifera (Berg, 1878)
  • Americerura argynnis (Schaus, 1901)
  • Americerura bratteata (Draudt, 1932)
