As others are saying it is incorrect. The correct term is clearly heterocera.

It is Greek and is plural

The it means different or varied horns.​

The root word here in Ancient Greek is έ ​ (Keras) and it is a neuter second declension noun so the nominative plural is έ.

​

Am I falling behind the times - or is this a made up term? A quote from an SER publication -

_ "As a scientist and naturalist, Blaine has spent hundreds of nights conducting Nocturnal Lepidoptera (Heterocerids, a.k.a. Moths) surveys across the state of New Jersey"._

Thanks,
