Thopeutis is a grass moth genus (family Crambidae) of subfamily Crambinae, tribe Haimbachiini. Some authors have placed it in the snout moth family (Pyralidae), where all grass moths were once also included, but this seems to be in error.

Species

• Thopeutis diatraealis (Dyar, 1910)
• Thopeutis diffusifascia (Hampson, 1919)
• Thopeutis forbesellus (Fernald, 1896)
• Thopeutis galleriellus (Ragonot in Staudinger, 1892)
• Thopeutis respersalis Hübner, 1818
