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 considered present in the Nearctic realm, but was found to be part of a species complex, with A. coronata being restricted to the Palearctic while the three closely related species A. plectilis, A. tertialis and A. tennesseensis are only present in the Nearctic. The adults of the species closely resembles Anania stachydalis.
