87DC08D7BC435354A24E3AB6E1772C85.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Elachista olekarsholti belongs to the E. saccharella species group. It is a small, dark-coloured species with indistinct wing markings and a dorsoventrally flattened head. In wing pattern and male genitalia, the new species is most similar to E. albrechti Kaila, 1998, known from Nepal. The main differences between E. albrechti (cf. Kaila 1998) and E. olekarsholti are: (1) spinose knob of gnathos very long and narrow in E. olekarsholti, in E. albrechti, it is club-shaped, with large distal dilation; (2) digitate process in E. olekarsholti is short and narrow, in E. albrechti, it is strongly dilated; (3) saccus in E. olekarsholti very short, whereas it is three times longer than wide in E. albrechti; (4) phallus in E. olekarsholti strongly curved beyond the middle, with cornutus, in E. albrechti, it is strongly curved before the middle, without cornutus.	en	Sruoga, Virginijus (2021): A new species of Elachista Treitschke, 1833 (Lepidoptera, Elachistidae, Elachistinae) from China, with identification keys to the Asian species of the Elachista saccharella species group.
