Material studied. Type material. Holotype ♂ labelled: Type [rounded with red margin]; Genital praeparat nr. 5800 sex: ♂ E. Traugott-Olsen; Hispania, Andalusia, Sierra Nevada , Cam , de Veleta 2300 m, 19.8.1984 E. Traugott-Olsen leg.; Elachista anitella n. sp. det. E. Traugott-Olsen; DNA sample MM15484 Lepid. Phyl. ( ZMUC). Other material. Spain: Granada, Sierra Nevada, 20 km SE. Granada, 27. VII.2003, 1 ♂, T. Nupponen leg., L. Kaila prep. 5354, DNA sample 11423 Lepid. Phyl. (Coll. Nupponen); Granada, Sierra Nevada, 20 km SE Granada, 2700–2900 m, 11. VII.2010, 1 ♂, T. Nupponen leg., L. Kaila prep. 5355, DNA sample 15484 Lepid. Phyl. (Coll. Nupponen).

Diagnosis. E. anitella is a small species. It closely resembles E. parvula , from which the shorter digitate process of E. anitella readily separates it. Its phallus is shorter than the valva, narrow, and hardly tapered towards apex. Its uncus lobes are rounded, as long as their width.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Spain.

Remarks. E. anitella is referred to as OTU 17 in Mutanen et al. (2015).
