Anania coronata, the elderberry pearl, elder pearl or crowned phlyctaenia, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It was described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1767 and is found in the northern parts of the Palearctic realm. It was previously also listed for the Nearctic realm.[2] The species closely resembles Anania stachydalis.
The wingspan is 23–26 mm and the moth flies from May to August depending on location.
The larvae feed on elderberry, Calystegia sepium, sunflower, Ligustrum, Viburnum and common lilac.
