About the Short-snouted Lanternfly
Named for its comparatively short, blunt snout, distinguishing it from the long, upturned projections typical of Pyrops — no confirmed photo is yet on file for this page.
Recorded broadly across Bornean lowland and hill forest, making it one of the more widely distributed species in this list despite being less documented in photographs than showier relatives.
Not assessed for conservation status.
