Subspecies

No
subspecies are recognized. Other authors recognize up to three
subspecies: equitella, minorella, crassilunella. However, these forms
differ in the morphology of the male genitalia, and equitella and
minorella have greatly overlapping (sympatric) ranges. Thus, these three
taxa should be regarded as separate species. Only two of these species
occur in Germany: the present species and Glyphipterix minorella.
Glyphipterix crassilunella is endemic to the Greek island of Crete. The
other records of crassilunella from Sardinia and from the Canary Islands
very likely refer to other species (e.g. Glyphipterix umbilici from the
Canary islands may easily be confused with Glyphipterix crassilunella).
