Elachista nolckeni |
Elachista nolckeni is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found from Estonia to the Pyrenees and Italy and from France to Poland and Slovakia. It is also found in Russia.[2]
The wingspan is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in).[3]
The larvae feed on Phleum phleoides. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine starts a narrow gallery that ascends from the base of the leaf to nearly the tip. It then descends, forming a pale green inflated blotch. Pupation takes place under the ground.[4] They are pale yellowish green to olive green with a yellowish brown head.
