3.1. Taxonomie
Kaila & Nupponen (2018: 405-407) besprechen die Art als Namengeber des 14 Arten umfassenden "Elachista subula Parenti species complex". Sie stellen fest: "Elachista subula has forewing ground colour varying from white to pale cream. It has distinct, elongate brownish grey plical and discal spots on forewing. The phallus is wider than in most other species, most closely resembling that of E. cisoria. In the male genitalia the most distinctive character is the sickle-shaped juxta lobe which distinguishes E. subula from all other species in this species complex." Beim Barcoding fanden sie: "The maximum intraspecific variation among the three included specimens was 0.15 %. Of the species included the closest taxon in terms of similarity of barcodes is E. spinipyra (distance 5.08 %).".
