[1] Agriphila geniculea, the elbow-striped grass-veneer, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.

[2] It usually occurs in dry pastures, grassy area, sand-dunes, gardens and grassland.

[4] Moreover, in A. geniculea the forewings are crossed by a couple of chevrons, while A. inquinatella is longitudinally variably streaked.

The larvae can be found from late September to early May, as they winter in the larval stage.

[3] They inhabit silken galleries, camouflaged with excrement, at the base of small grasses.
