Elachista nobilella Zeller, 1839: 213 View in CoL . Type locality: “ Austria ” [now Czech Republic]: Bohemia Spitzberg ( Zeller 1839: 213). Lectotype ♀ designated by Parenti (1977: 34), in NHMUK.

Elachista subnobilella Rössler, 1866: 378 View in CoL . Type locality: Germany, Nassau. Lectotype in MWNH, designated by Parenti (1977: 35). Synonymized by Parenti (1977: 35).

Poeciloptilia nobiliella ; misspelling (Herrich-Schäffer (1855: 309).

Distribution: Palearctic. Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia (European part, Transbaikalia), Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, U.K. ( England).

Larval host plant(s): Agrostis stolonifera L., Arrhenaterum sp., Bromus sp., Dactylis sp., Deschampsia flexuosa (L.) Trin., Festuca sp., Holcus lanatus L. (all Poaceae ) ( Frey 1880; Sønderup 1924; E.M. Hering 1957; Wörz 1957; Buhl et al. 1990; Collins 2006).

Figs.: Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen (1977), Biesenbaum (1995), Bland (1996).

Remarks: Specimens reported from Carex sp. ( Cyperaceae ) and Luzula pilosa L. (Willd.) ( Juncaceae ) by Parenti & Varalda (1994) are likely from larvae that overwintered full-grown in the soil near or at the base of Carex or Luzula pilosa , which often grow together with Deschapsia flexuosa .
