Elachista subalbidella is a moth of the family Elachistidae found in Europe and North America.
The wingspan is 10–13 millimetres (0.39–0.51 in).The head is ochreous-yellowish. Forewings are ochreous yellow, towards costa sometimes fuscous-tinged. Hindwings are dark grey. [1]
Adults are on wing in June. [2]
The larvae mainly feed on purple moor-grass ( Molinia caerulea ), but have also been recorded on oatgrass ( Arrhenatherum species), tor-grass ( Brachypodium pinnatum ), false-brome ( Brachypodium sylvaticum ), bunch grass ( Calamagrostis arundinacea ), American beak grass ( Diarrhena americana ), sedges ( Carex species), melic grass ( Melica species) and meadow-grass ( Poa species).
It is found from Fennoscandia and northern Russia to Italy and Greece and from Ireland to Romania. [3] It is also found in North America (British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Yukon, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Dakota). [4]

Elachista is a genus of gelechioid moths described by Georg Friedrich Treitschke in 1833. It is the type genus of the grass-miner moth family (Elachistidae). This family is sometimes circumscribed very loosely, including for example the Agonoxenidae and Ethmiidae which seem to be quite distinct among the Gelechioidea, as well as other lineages which are widely held to be closer to Oecophora than to Elachista and are thus placed in the concealer moth family Oecophoridae here.

Elachista eurychora is a species of moth in the family Elachistidae. This species is endemic to New Zealand and has only been collected at Paekākāriki. The habitat where the adult moth was originally collected was in rough vegetation on coastal sandhills or dunes but the collection locality has been significantly modified since that time. It has been hypothesised that the host of the larvae of this species is a grass. Adults are on the wing in March. It is classified as "Data Deficient" by the Department of Conservation.
