Euclasta splendidalis is a species of moth in the family Crambidae.[1] The species was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1848. It is found in Romania, Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia, Greece, Russia,[2] Asia Minor, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan[1] and Armenia.[3] It has been recorded from Malta, but this is a misidentification of Euclasta varii.[4]

The wingspan is about 32 mm.[5]
