<span class="mw-page-title-main">Elachistidae</span> Family of moths

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.

<i>Elachista albidella</i> Species of moth

Elachista albidella is a moth of the family Elachistidae, described by William Nylander in 1848. Its wingspan ranges from 9–10 millimetres (0.35–0.39 in).The head is white. Forewings are white, costa and sometimes dorsum suffused with fuscous; plical stigma large, elongate, black ; an angulated fuscous fascia beyond middle, angle acutely produced towards apex ; small fuscous costal and dorsal spots near apex. Hindwings are rather dark grey.The larva is greenish-grey, more yellowish anteriorly; head dark brown.

<i>Elachista</i> Genus of moths

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.
