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