Elachista leifi sp. n. is described from material collected in Kuusamo, northern Finland. It is a very large species resembling E. kilmunella Stainton, E. parasella Traugott-Olsen and E. eskoi Kyrki & Karvonen. The species occurs on open bogs, swarming early in the morning at sunrise. The systematic position of E. leifi is discussed.
