List of Coleophora species

This is a list of all Coleophora species. Coleophora is a very large genus of moths of the family Coleophoridae. It contains some 1,350 described species. The genus is represented on all continents, but the majority are found in the Nearctic and Palaearctic regions. Many authors have tried splitting the genus into numerous smaller ones, but most of these have not become widely accepted.

Species placed (at least provisionally) in Coleophora include:

• Coleophora defessella Herrich-Schäffer, 1855 This species was described from Germany.
• Coleophora leucogrammella Herrich-Schäffer, 1855. This species was described from the Alps. The identity remains questionable. It has been recorded feeding on the leaves of Inula conyza. The larvae live in a black, laterally compressed, bivalved case with a mouth angle of less than 45°. The larvae have been recorded from autumn to May of the following year.^[1]
