Lascelina cordobensis is a species of snout moth in the genus Lascelina. It was described by Neunzig in 1994 from Cordoba, Mexico, from which its species epithet is derived.

The length of the forewings is 8-8.5 mm. The forewings are pale brown, but the costal half is dusted with white, particularly near the costa. The hindwings are pale smoky brown, but darker on the veins and near the costal and outer margins.[2]
