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]
