Elasmopalpus is a snout moth genus in the subfamily Phycitinae described by Émile Blanchard in 1852. The genus is restricted to the Americas and currently comprises three species: the type species E. angustellus, described by Blanchard together with the genus, E. corrientellus Ragonot, 1888, and E. lignosellus (Zeller, 1848), a pest species of Poaceae and Fabaceae crops that is widespread throughout the Americas.
