discussion
Remarks. THE SINGLE SPECIMEN COLLECTED IN CAUCASUS IS VERY CLOSE TO Elachista biatomella (fOR ILLUSTRATIONS REfER TO TRAUGOTT-OLSEN & NIELSEN 1977: fIGS 248, 249 AND TRAUGOTT-OLSEN 2000: fIGS 41 – 52). THE TAXONOMY Of E. biatomella AND ITS CLOSE RELATIVES IS UNSETTLED AND SPECIES DELIMITATION IS IN NEED Of A THOROUGH RE-EVALUATION (KAILA et al. 2003). WE PROVIDE HERE IMAGES Of A SPECIMEN fROM THE CAUCASIAN POPULATION BUT REfRAIN fROM ATTEMPTING TO NAME IT.
