Elachista metallifera Lower, 1908
|
Elachista metallifera is a moth in the family Elachistidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1908.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]
The name metallifera is preoccupied by Mompha metallifera, described by Lord Walsingham in 1882. The identity of this species is uncertain, because the holotype is lost.[3]
