Remarks: Wocke (1876: 492) compares E. oppositella to E. perplexella (synonym of E. humilis Zeller) in the original description. However, the original characterization with yellowish shine on forewing, yellowish discal and plical spot, and glossy head does not fit E. humilis . [Vdfl. schwarzgrau, gelblich schimmernd, mit zwei gerade gegenüber stehender gelblichweissen hinteren Gegenflecken, die Franzen dunkelgrau, mit feiner schwarzer Staublinie, der Kopf silbergrau. 1 3/ 8 L.]. The host plant is also not known to be used by the Poaceae-feeding E. humilis .
