Abstract
Elachista sulcsiella sp. n. from Latvia is described. A series of specimens was collected by netting and breeding in three localities. The newly described species belongs to the Elachista bifasciella-group and is likely a close relative of E. irenae Buszko and E. talgarella Kaila. The adult habitus and genitalia of both sexes are figured.
