Anacrusis erioheir is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in Ecuador (Morona-Santiago Province and Napo Province).

The wingspan is about 30 millimetres (1.2 in). The ground colour of the forewings is cream, tinged slightly with ferruginous at the base dorsally, along the costal arm of the median cell and medioterminally. The hindwings are cream, somewhat tinged with ochreous in the basal portion and with pale brownish grey distally.

Etymology

The species name refers to termination of the uncus and is derived from Greek erio (meaning a strengthening prefix, meaning very and heir (meaning claw)).
