Type localities: England: Scarborough, Worthing, Mickleham, Lewes, West Wickham, Pembury, Bristol, Alkham, Preston, the Cambridgeshire Fens.

Poeciloptilia ochreella: Herrich-Schäffer (1855: 313) .

Svenssonia subalbidella: Parenti (2009: 33) .

Elachista subochreella ; misspelling ( Doubleday 1859: 35).

Subgenus: Elachista ; argentella species group.

Distribution: Holarctic. Austria, Azerbaijan, Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Yukon), Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia (European part, Siberia, E. Russia), Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. ( England, Scotland, Wales), Ukraine, U.S.A. (Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota).

Larval host plant(s): Arrhenaterum sp., Brachypodium pinnatum (L.) Beauv., B. sylvaticum (Hudson) Beauv. , Calamagrostis epigejos (L.) Roth, Diarrhena americana Beauv. , Molinia caerulea (L.) Moench, Poa sp. ( Poaceae ),? Carex sp. ( Cyperaceae ) ( Braun 1948; Frey 1866; Huttunen 1980).

Figs.: Traugott & Nielsen (1977).

Remarks: Herrich-Schäffer’s (1855: 313) description of Poeciloptilia subochrella fulfils the requirements of a valid description and predates Elachista subochrella Morris (1870: 229) . Morris’s species is almost certainly conspecific with E. subalbidella in the absence of other similar species in England. The taxonomy of E. subalbidella and similar taxa is uncertain in the Alps. Until the identity of P. subochrella Herrich-Schäffer can be verified, its current status as a synonym is maintained.
