3.1. Taxonomie und Faunistik

Traugott-Olsen (1992: 235) beschrieb die Art nach einem einzelnen Männchen. Kaila (2015: 322) war sich unschlüssig, ob er das Tier zu Elachista parvula stellen sollte oder nicht. Schließlich entschloss er sich, das Taxon vorerst doch als Art gelten zu lassen und begründete: "The single known specimen is indistinguishable from E. parvula. Its status as distinct species, at least for time being, is nevertheless preferred due to the wide difference in its barcode as compared to the haplotypes of E. parvula samples from a wide area. Being already named, it is in accordance with nomenclatorical stability to maintain the current status instead of establishing an uncertain new synonymy on the basis of a single specimen. E. parvula, though widespread, is only known north of Mediterranean and eastward from there, while the single known specimen of E. moroccoensis is from North Africa."
