Ceraclea is a genus of long-horned caddisflies in the family Leptoceridae. There are more than 140 described species in Ceraclea.[1][2][3][4]
Though this genus lacks the long antennae of other Leptoceridae, it can be easily identified by the distinctive wart pattern on its thorax: two curving bars running from the pronotum to the scutellum.[citation needed]
