Diagnosis.
Belongs to the

group. The combination of very long and slender, closely juxtaposed processes of gnathos, long thickened uncus, very short vinculum, transtilla without sublateral processes, and small spine-like cornuti distinguishes
S. evanida
from all other
Stigmella
species, including the members of
S. expressa
group.
