Elachista bisulcella is a moth of the family Elachistidae that is found in Europe.
The wingspan is 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in). [1] The head is dark grey, face whitish. Forewings are dark fuscous, blackish-sprinkled ; a hardly curved whitish central fascia, edged with yellow posteriorly, broader towards dorsum ; tips of apical cilia whitish. Hindwings are dark grey.The larva is grey-green; head pale brown ; 2 with two brown spots. [2]
Adults are on wing at the end of June and again in August in two generations per year. [3]
The larvae feed on false-brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum), wood small-reed ( Calamagrostis epigejos), upright sedge ( Carex stricta), tufted hair-grass ( Deschampsia cespitosa) and tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea). They mine the leaves of their host plant. [4] Larvae can be found from autumn to June. The species overwinters within the mine.
