Elachistidae
The Elachistidae (grass-miner moths) are a family of small moths in the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lumpers and splitters, lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths. In fact, most of these moths appear to be either closer to the Oecophorinae and are hence nowadays usually included in the Oecophoridae (Depressariinae, "Deuterogoniinae", Hypertrophinae, Stenomatinae and perhaps the enigmatic ''Aeolanthes''), or constitute quite basal (evolution), basal lineages of gelechioids, neither closely related to ''Elachista'' nor to ''Oecophora'', and hence best treated as independent families within the Gelechioidea (Agonoxenidae, Ethmiidae). The genus ''Coelopoeta'' is sometimes still placed here, but probably belongs in the Oecophorinae. Consequently, the Elachistidae ...

Perittia Lonicerae
''Perittia lonicerae'', the honeysuckle leaf miner, is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It was first discovered in Hawaii in 1949. It was later found in Japan in 1982, although it was described as new. Several other species are known from the eastern Palearctic Region, so it is likely that ''P. lonicerae'' originated there instead of Hawaii where it was first found. The larvae feed on ''Lonicera japonica ''Lonicera japonica'', known as Japanese honeysuckle and golden-and-silver honeysuckle, is a species of honeysuckle native to East Asia, including many parts of China.
