Elachista fulgens is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Japan (Kyûsyû, Ryûkyû; Honsyû).[1]
The length of the forewings is 2.4–2.7 millimetres (0.094–0.106 in) for males and 2.6–3.5 millimetres (0.10–0.14 in) for females. The forewings have a silvery spot just basally of the tornal spot.
The larvae feed on Carex acutiformis, Carex elata and Carex riparia. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[2]
Some authors list Elachista arnoldi as a synonym of Elachista fulgens.
