ApterolarnacaGorochov AV (2004) Ent. Rev. 84(8): 914. is a genus of Orthopterans, sometimes known as 'leaf-folding crickets' in the subfamily Gryllacridinae, tribe Ametrini and genus group Apotrechae Cadena-Castañeda, 2019. Records of occurrence are from southern China and Vietnam.[http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1130735 Orthoptera Species File (version 5.0: retrieved 30 December 2020)]

The prefix "Aptero-" means that these Orthopterans are similar to the genus Larnaca, but have secondarily evolved without wings (becoming apterous). There are a number of similar genera, described from Vietnam by AV Gorochov, and the Orthoptera Species File indicates that other locality records and possibly other species have yet to be discovered in the Indo-China region.
