Elachista lastrella is a moth of the family Elachistidae. It is found from Germany to Spain .
The wingspan is 8–9 millimetres (0.31–0.35 in).[2]
The larvae feed on Bromus erectus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long slender corridor at the underside of the lower leaves. Most mines ascend from the base of the leaf to the tip. The frass is deposited in a narrow continuous line. A single may make two to three mines. Only the final mine is full depth.[3] They are yellowish with a brownish head. Larvae can be found in early spring.
