Laternaria is a genus of lantern fly that occurs primarily in southeast Asia, containing about 60 species. The genus name of Pyrops has been used in the past but Laternaria is the older name. The type species is Laternaria candelaria. They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors.

When placed in the genus Pyrops or Hotinus the endings of the species would follow the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, and since the name of these genera are masculine in gender, the species epithets in the genus must also be masculine, though numerous authors have consistently treated them as feminine.[1] Generic names ending in -ops are treated as masculine regardless of the original usage according to a 1972 ICZN amendment to Article 30(a)(i)(2).[2]
