Dystebenna
''Dystebenna'' is a genus of moths of the family Elachistidae. The genus is mostly placed in the family Elachistidae, but other authors list it as a member of the family Agonoxenidae. It contains only one species ''Dystebenna stephensi'', which is found in Asia and Europe. Description The wingspan is 8–9 mm. Adults are on wing from the end of June to September and can be found resting on the trunk of the host tree. The larvae feed on oak (''Quercus'' species) and chestnut (''Castanea'' species). They feed within the bark, mining their host and preferring mature trees. The larvae can be detected by orange frass on the trunk. The species overwinters in the pupal stage within the mine. Distribution ''Dystebenna stephensi'' is found in central Europe, Great Britain, southern Sweden, the Crimea and western Transcaucasia The South Caucasus, also known as Transcaucasia or the Transcaucasus, is a geographical region on the border of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, str ...

Spuleria
''Spuleria'' is a genus of moths of the family Elachistidae. It contains only one species ''Spuleria flavicaput'', which is found in most of Europe and Anatolia. Taxonomy Some authors list the genus as a synonym of ''Chrysoclista''. If valid, the genus is mostly placed in the family Elachistidae, but other authors list it as a member of the family Agonoxenidae, Cosmopterigidae or Blastodacnidae. Description of ''Spuleria flavicaput'' The wingspan is 12–14 mm. The head is orange-yellow. Palpi yellow, basal half blackish, terminal joint very short. Forewings are purplish-black; plical and second discal stigmata black, raised. Hindwings are dark fuscous. The larva is slender and whitish. Adults are diurnal, i.e. flying in the morning from May to June. Biology The larvae feed on hawthorn (''Crataegus monogyna'') and midland hawthorn (''Crataegus laevigata'').

Elachistidae
The Elachistidae (grass-miner moths) are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths. In fact, most of these moths appear to be either closer to the Oecophorinae and are hence nowadays usually included in the Oecophoridae ( Depressariinae, " Deuterogoniinae", Hypertrophinae, Stenomatinae and perhaps the enigmatic '' Aeolanthes''), or constitute quite basal lineages of gelechioids, neither closely related to '' Elachista'' nor to '' Oecophora'', and hence best treated as independent families within the Gelechioidea ( Agonoxenidae, Ethmiidae). The genus '' Coelopoeta'' is sometimes still placed here, but probably belongs in the Oecophorinae. Consequently, the Elachistidae are essentially identical to the subfamily ...
