| Taxonomic Notes: |
Elachista subalbidella Schlager, 1847 includes as a synonym Elachista hiberna Braun, 1948 [1098] in Kaila (1997). DNA barcode would appear to separate the New and Old World populations in two distinct groups, represented by BINs: ABX6265 and AAC7905. However, Kaila (1997) reports a range of phenotypes from across eastern Russia from which no barcoded specimens currently exist. |
