Taxonomy

The separate condition of the hindwing veins RS and Ml would be unique in Elachistidae and the ventral spurs in tarsal articles are rarely present in Elachista. Based on this, the species has been removed from the family Elachistidae. The abdomen of the holotype is missing, meaning the correct family association of the species cannot currently be established and it is currently placed incertae sedis within the superfamily Gelechioidea.[1]

gollark: They have quite a lot of categories, though. I suppose for broader ones they could probably have a few featured products, perhaps with video reviews and extra docs and stuff.
gollark: Especially locks and stuff, where telling if it's bad is hard.
gollark: I don't think you could reasonably expect them to have specialists review every (popular) product in every category to find good ones.
gollark: I bet they just pick those at random.
gollark: Oh no. How will I live without one day shipping of Amazon's amazing range of Prime™ products‽
