This family is sometimes (in particular in older sources) circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to '' Oecophora'' than to ''Elachista'' and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here. These grass-miners are very small moths with the " feathery" hindwings characteristic of their family. They are essentially found worldwide, except in very cold places and on some

Selected species

Not all

of this large genus have been discovered yet, let alone validly described and named. Several small genera, e.g. ''Biselachista'' and ''Cosmiotes'', are here included in ''Elachista'' as junior synonyms (see below). They seem to be at least as closely related to '' E. bifasciella'' (the

are still not fully resolved. A number of ''Elachista'' species have been assigned to one of several groups, which may or may not be monophyletic, and whose names in the literature do not consistently follow the usual taxonomic practice (i.e. using as namesake the group-member which was described first). Some of these groups are placed in either of the two large subgenera ''Elachista'' (''Aphelosetia'') and ''Elachista'' (''Elachista''). Other proposed subgenera – the small ''Elachista'' (''Dibrachia'') and ''Elachista'' (''Hemiprosopa'') – are here included in the species of unclear relationships; like some small species-groups, they stand a chance of rendering the two larger subgenera paraphyletic if accepted as distinct, but seem too unlike them to warrant placement in either.
