| Taxonomic Notes: |
Elachista albidella Nylander, 1848 includes as a synonym Elachista tanyopis Meyrick, 1932 (formerly placed in the genus Biselachista) in Kaila (1996). DNA barcode separates the Nearctic population (BOLD:AAH4947) from the Palearctic population (BOLD:AAE9972, BOLD:ABX6815) by nearly 4%, suggesting that these populations may represent separate species or subspecies. |
