Subspecies

There is no consensus concerning the identification of subspecies in ''Albinaria idaea''. Two contradictory systems have been proposed: *In 1977, Nordsieck distinguished 6 subspecies, of which one ('' Albinaria idaea zeus'') was later rejected by Nordsieck in 1998. In 2017, one additional subspecies ('' Albinaria idaea letoana'') was described by Nordsieck.Nordsieck, H. 2017. New Species Taxa of the Genus ''
