Anaulacomera is a genus of leaf katydids in the tribe Phaneropterini. One of the most distinctive features of Anaulacomera species is their leaf-like appearance. They have a vivid green color that closely resembles the leaves and branches of plants. This coloration helps them effectively camouflage with the foliage they inhabit. Anaulacomera katydids are herbivores, feeding primarily on leaves.
