Remarks: The monotypic genus
Illantis
was based on the species
picroleuca
Meyrick, 1921b: 187
. The
holotype
is without abdomen, but the external appearance is in all respects similar to species of
Elachista
sg.
Elachista
, in the
saccahrella
species group. On this basis
Illantis
is considered as a junior subjective synonym of
Elachista
Treitschke.
