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.

Barcode of Life (BOLD) - Caution: Identifications often erroneous; DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification; many specimens not sequenced.
Barcode of Life (BOLD) - BIN: BOLD:AAC7905 (Europe) - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification.
Barcode of Life (BOLD) - BIN: BOLD:ABX6265 (North America) - Caution: DNA barcode provides evidence of relatedness, not proof of identification.
