Elachista serricornis is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in Europe.
The wingspan is 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in). [1] The head is grey, face whitish. Forewings in male grey, in female blackish-grey ; plical stigma black, elongate, followed by a white dot ; an oblique white triangular costal spot at 2/3 ; a small indistinct whitish tornal spot somewhat beyond it. Hindwings grey.grey. [2]
The larvae feed on Carex elata , rare spring sedge ( Carex ericetorum ), Carex ferruginea , wood segge ( Carex sylvatica ), bladder sedge ( Carex vesicaria ), common cottongrass ( Eriophorum angustifolium ), Eriophorum latifolium , hare's-tail cottongrass ( Eriophorum vaginatum ) and Scirpus sylvaticus . [3] Young larvae make a long, brown corridor, and hibernate in this. In spring, the larva makes a new mine in another leaf, starting near the base of the blade. The mine widens upwards and forms a blotch at the end. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [4]
It is found from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to northern Italy and from Ireland to Poland and Hungary. [5]
