Dahlica lazuri is a moth of the Psychidae family. It was described by Clerck in 1759. It is found in France, the Benelux, Germany Switzerland, Austria, the Baltic region, Scandinavia and Russia.

Taxonomy

Formerly fumosella was treated as the bisexual race of lichenella, but its taxonomical status is controversial. Robinson and Nielsen proposed the name lazuri for fumosella in 1983, because there is no doubt, that this is an older subjective synonym.
