Elachista luticomella is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found in most of Europe.
The wingspan is 10–11 millimetres (0.39–0.43 in). The moth flies from June to August depending on the location.[1] The head is light ochreous-yellow, seldom with a fuscous spot. Forewings are dark fuscous; a somewhat oblique fascia before middle, a small tornal spot, and another on costa beyond it ochreous-whitish, in female enlarged and more conspicuous. Hindwings are blackish grey. The larva is pale yellow; head pale brown.[2][3][4]
