Elachista apina is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found in North America in British Columbia, Oregon and Washington.[1]

The length of the forewings is 4.8–5.7 millimetres (0.19–0.22 in). The costa in the basal eighth of the forewings is greyish brown. The wing is otherwise unicolorous white. The hindwings are white and the underside of the wings is silky light grey.

Etymology

The species name is derived from Greek apines ('clean').

gollark: -halt

gollark: -generate 9x5x9 no cryotheum no enderium efficiency

gollark: I'll try having it do 9x5x9 or something.

gollark: Maybe it should be made to not minimize heat but keep it close to 0 or something.

gollark: Huh, that's weird, it's actually less efficient than the 6x6x6 one.
