Elachista elegans Frey, 1859

Distribution. EUROPE (KAILA 2011B). IN CAUCASUS KNOWN ONLY fROM KRASNODAR KRAI Of RUSSIA (SHCHUROV 2004B; SINEV 2008).

Remarks. THE RECORD Of E. elegans fROM KRASNODAR KRAI, RUSSIA, IS BASED ON SHCHUROV 2004B AND WAS SUBSEqUENTLY REPEATED BY SINEV (2008). E. elegans IS VERY CLOSE TO E. deriventa KAILA & MUTANEN, 2008 (KAILA et al. 2008) fROM FINLAND, WHICH HAS RECENTLY BEEN fOUND IN THE ALPS ( HUEMER & HEBERT 2016). SINCE WE HAVE NO POSSIBILITY TO CONfIRM THIS RECORD, WE THINK IT IS WORTH fOR VERIfICATION.
