Elachista consortella is a moth of the Elachistidae family. It is found in most of Europe, except most of the Balkan Peninsula, Poland, Latvia and Finland.
The wingspan is 7-8 mm. Adults are on wing from April to September.[2]
The larvae possibly feed on Cynodon dactylon, although other records state it feeds on Poa annua. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[3] Larvae can be found from April to August.[4]
