Nemopalpus is a genus of moth fly in the family Psychodidae, in the subfamily Bruchomyiinae.[2][3][4] Recently (2018) a number of similar species have been transferred to the genera: Alexanderia, Boreofairchildia, Laurenceomyia and Notofairchildia.[5] In Macquart's original publication, the genus name was spelled both as Nemopalpus and Nemapalpus, but Macquart corrected the error in 1839.[6]
