    The pale-winged midget (Elaphria festivoides) is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found across southern Canada and the northern United States.

    The wingspan is 24–28 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July. There is one generation per year.

    Larvae of E. festivoides have been reared on Acer negundo. The hostplant preferences of E. alapallida may be similar.
