Elachista oppositella Wocke, 1876: 492 View in CoL . Type locality: not stated. Syntypes: deposition unknown.

Current status: Unknown.

Larval host plant(s): Luzula pilosa L. (Willd.) ( Juncaceae ) ( Wocke, 1876: 492).

Figs.: No published illustration available.

Remarks: Wocke (1876: 492) compares E. oppositella to E. perplexella (synonym of E. humilis Zeller ) in the original description. However, the original characterization with yellowish shine on forewing, yellowish discal and plical spot, and glossy head does not fit E. humilis . [Vdfl. schwarzgrau, gelblich schimmernd, mit zwei gerade gegenüber stehender gelblichweissen hinteren Gegenflecken, die Franzen dunkelgrau, mit feiner schwarzer Staublinie, der Kopf silbergrau. 1 3/ 8 L.]. The host plant is also not known to be used by the Poaceae-feeding E. humilis .
