Elophila orientalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Filipjev in 1933.[1] It is found in China,[2] Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and the Russian Far East (Ussuri).
The length of the forewings is 7.7-8.5 mm for males and 7.9-10.8 mm for females. The forewings are pale orange.
The larvae probably feed on Phragmites species. They create a portable case of leaf fragments. Full-grown larvae reach a length of 15–18 mm.[3]
