#3659 - Fam. Elachistidae - Grass Miner
Leptozestis, probably.
Small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea, with perhaps 3,300 species in eight subfamilies, but the family requires savage reorganisation since is almost certainly wildly paraphyletic. Only 3 of the genera are likely to remain. If this IS a Leptozestis, some authors have already moved it to the Cosmopterigidae.
As suggested by the common name, most Elachistids are leaf and stem miners of grass.
