3.2. Taxonomie
Huemer & van Nieukerken (2021: 329) haben große Zweifel an der Artberechtigung des Taxons, nahmen aber (noch) keine Synonymisierung vor: "Elachista paracollitella was described from a male holotype and 15 male paratypes (Nel & Varenne 2016b). The species was separated from several related taxa particularly by subtle characters of male genitalia. In particular E. gormella was discussed in detail and separated by diagnostic structures, and hence E. paracollitella was included in the World Catalogue of Elachistidae as valid taxon (Kaila 2019). However, the holotype of E. paracollitella is very close to E. gormella in DNA barcode, with 98.65% similarity, indicating possible conspecificity. However, we hesitate to synonymize both species as the species group is in need of thorough revision (Kaila in litt.)."
