Elachista subalbidella Schläger, 1847: 241. Typelocality: Germany, Weimar( Schläger 1847: 241). Type(s) not located. Elachista ochreella Stainton, 1849: 27. Type locality: England, Yaxley. Holotype ♂, in NHMUK. Elachista nebulella Stainton, 1851: 10. Type locality: [ England]. Two syntypes, originally in Mr. Allis’s and Mr. Gregson’s collection. Allis’collection is currently in YMUK; presence of the type not verified. Depository of Gregson’s collection unknown. Poeciloptilia subochrella Herrich-Schäffer, 1855: 313. Type locality: Switzerland, Zürich(Herrich-Schäffer 1855: 313). Holotype(sex not stated), possibly in Coll. Frey(NHMUK). See Remarks. Elachista subochrella Morris, 1870: 229; pl. 124, fig. 20. Type localities: England: Scarborough, Worthing, Mickleham, Lewes, West Wickham, Pembury, Bristol, Alkham, Preston, the CambridgeshireFens. Based on an undefined number of syntypes, auctioned, current depositories unknown and possibly lost. See Remarks. Junior secondary homonym of Poeciloptilia subochrellaHerrich-Schäffer, (1855). Elachista hiberna Braun, 1948: 52. Type locality: U.S.A., Ohio, Pike County, Shepherd Mountain ( Braun 1948: 52). Holotype ♀, in ANSP. Synonymized by Kaila (1997: 10). Poeciloptilia ochreella: Herrich-Schäffer (1855: 313). Svenssonia subalbidella: Parenti (2009: 33). ‡ Elachista subochreella; misspelling ( Doubleday 1859: 35).
Subgenus: Elachista; argentellaspecies 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): Arrhenaterumsp., Brachypodium pinnatum(L.) Beauv., B. sylvaticum(Hudson) Beauv., Calamagrostis epigejos(L.) Roth, Diarrhena americanaBeauv., Molinia caerulea(L.) Moench, Poasp. ( Poaceae),? Carexsp. ( Cyperaceae) ( Braun 1948; Frey 1866; Huttunen 1980). Figs.: Traugott & Nielsen (1977). Remarks: Herrich-Schäffer’s (1855: 313) description of Poeciloptilia subochrellafulfils the requirements of a valid description and predates Elachista subochrella Morris (1870: 229). Morris’s species is almost certainly conspecific with E. subalbidellain the absence of other similar species in England. The taxonomy of E. subalbidellaand similar taxa is uncertain in the Alps. Until the identity of P. subochrellaHerrich-Schäffercan be verified, its current status as a synonym is maintained.
