Elachista constitella Frey, 1859 View in CoL

Elachista constitella Frey, 1859: 295 View in CoL . Type locality: Italy, Fiume, Berglehnen [now Croatia, Rijeka-Susak] ( Frey 1859: 296). Lectotype ♀ designated by Parenti (1977: 33), in NHMUK.

Subgenus: Aphelosetia ; bedellella View in CoL species group.

Distribution: Palearctic. Croatia.

Larval host plant(s): unknown.

Figs.: Parenti (1977).

Remarks: Parenti (1977) depicts the genitalia of the lectotype female. Traugott-Olsen (1990b) illustrated the genitalia of a male from the same series from which the lectotype had been designated. However, these specimens are not conspecific (L. Kaila, personal observation), the male specimen representing Elachista maculata Parenti. The distribution records given for E. constitella by Kaila (2004b) and Kaila et al. (2003), who followed Traugott-Olsen (1990b), are referable to E. maculata Parenti.
