Elachista antipodensis is a moth in the family Elachistidae.

[4] In 1977 Ernst Traugott-Olsen and Ebbe Schmidt Nielsen confirmed that the genus Irenicodes was synonymised with Elachista.

[5] In 1999 Lauri Kaila raised this subspecies to species rank.

[6] The justification for this change was given in 2019 and was based on the differences in male genitalia between E. galatheae and E.
