Elachista

[Lawrence Turner]

In Monterey County, California, I've raised several different species of Elachista from various grasses and sedges. The most recent( a few days ago) is a very small dark species with two complete whitish-blue bands across each wing, and which utilizes Festuca californica. Others are as follows: Elachista marachella? from native and non-native Agrostis species, and from non-native Holcus; Elachista cucullata? from several different species of Carex; Elachista indisella from Hierochloe occidentalis; a species from several different native Bromus; a species from Calamagrostis nutkaensis and a species from Elymus glaucus. In addition, Elachista thelmae was caught on the wing in a coastal prarie habitat.
