Euselenops luniceps is a species of sea slug, a pleurobranchiomorph gastropod mollusc in the family Pleurobranchidae.

Euselenops luniceps is the type species of the genus Euselenops[1] and Euselenops luniceps is the only species in the genus Euselenops.

The radula of this species was studied by Thompson & Bebbington (1973), but they did not publish a description or an image of it.[5]
