Elachista baltica is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found in Sweden, [1] Finland, and Poland. [2]

The species was previously synonymised with Elachista freyerella , but was reinstated as a species by Baran & Buszko in 2005. [3]
The Elachistidae are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths.
Elachista tengstromi is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in Europe and Japan. The moth was formerly considered to be a form of Elachista regificella.
Elachista is a genus of gelechioid moths described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1833. It is the type genus of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae). This family is sometimes circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to Oecophora than to Elachista and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here.
