Explanation of Names
Elatobia carbonella (Dietz, 1905) was formerly treated as a synonym of Elatobia fuliginosella (Lienig & Zeller, 1846) in Gaedike (2019). Hayden (2022) treats carbonella as a full species based on genitalic dissection. This conclusion appears to be supported by DNA barcode and is followed herein.
