Résumé :
The tineid moth Pelecystola fraudulentella (Zeller, 1852) has been discovered insweden, Småland, Bäckebo, Grytsjön. This is the second known specimen of this species. The type specimen was found in Slovenia, Ljubljana around 1850. The external appearance and the genitalia are described and illustrated. The systematic position is briefly considered but cannot be established for the present as the genitalia morphology does not fit to any recognized subfamily in Tineidae. A lectotype is selected and published for the first time. The biology of P. fraudulentella is unknown but the larval host might be bracket fungi like other species regarded closely related.
