Elachista tetragonella is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found from Fennoscandia to Spain and Italy and from France to Bulgaria.
The wingspan is 6–7 millimetres (0.24–0.28 in). Adults are on wing in January and again in June. [2]
The larvae feed on Carex montana . They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a white elongate gallery in the top region of the leaf. The frass is deposited irregularly. Pupation takes place outside of the mine. [3] They are dirty yellow with a pair of grey dorsal length lines and a yellowish head. Larvae can be found from April to the end of May.

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.
