Abstract
Elachista vegliae Parenti, 1978 Fig. 20 Elachista vegliae Parenti, 1978: 17 External appearance (translation from Parenti 1978). Wingspan 7–8 mm. Head whitish with scattered light brown scales. Palpi whitish. Antennae distinctly annulate, at least in the proximal third, light and dark brown. Tegulae and thorax with whitish scales at the base and light brown at the distal margin. Clusters of similar scales alternate on the forewing with groups of white scales forming irregular patterns. Fringe whitish up to the tornus, then grey. Hindwing has its fringe light grey. Description. Male genitalia. Based on Parenti (1978), here Fig. 20. The uncus lobe is twice as long as broad in its basal part, gradually tapered to round apex. The juxta seems to differ from other species in the shape of the juxta lobes, as having broad, tongue-shaped distal lobes. Otherwise, the genitalia are similar to the other species treated here. Female genitalia. Unknown.
