I think subspecies in general (or those connected to entities previously within existence) have no chance of being trailed back in linage to Echidna, however there may be a few, unexpected incidents.

For example, one of my own ideas in particular involves an Echidna actually giving birth to five new elemental slime species, but this was because she never wanted to be a mother in the first place; thus she pursued simply being a boss-like dungeon monster. Unfortunately her shame in her species and lack of 'fertilization' resulted in the birth of all these 'pathetic', undeveloped slime types, when it's common knowledge that slimes are the result of mutation.

Pretty much, in the case I gave it's meant to be symbolic, so we could never truly seperate monsters that originate from Echidna and those that don't; however with in depth analysis of the various articles it's usually pretty easy to form an educated guess. (Which Apsou has portrayed wonderfully in his very own way, thank you very much!)
