2022 Annual Report for: Coleophoridae / Coleophorinae
For species seen in 2022 that had less than or equal to 100 records, full details are included; for more common species, the earliest, latest and highest count by vice-county are shown. The narrative for each species is taken from the main Hantsmoths website, and it is possible that some information on abundance and occurrence can get out of date, as it is impossible to keep up with all changes; however it should give a good introduction to each species. The tables in each species account summarise the previous status, and that for the current year.
For the maps, all records prior to 2022 are shown by a blue dot (the larger the dot, the more recent), with the current year's records shown in red. As previous records are superimposed on any report for 2022, new sites have greater emphasis (i.e. will show as 'more red').
In the species accounts, an asterisk next to a location indicates a new 10km square record; earliest ever dates are highlighted in orange, and latest ever in red. Initials in the species accounts refer to the recorders listed here. Please get in touch if you identify any omissions or errors, in particular if you have records that have yet to be submitted. Details of how to submit records can be found here.
37.002 [B&F: 0487] Coleophora lutarea (Haworth, 1828) - Local
Local in open woodland in southern England and south Wales. Reported from scattered locations in Hampshire, and only common in recent years from Pamber Forest: the Isle of Wight saw no records between the first in 1929, and 2012, when larvae were found in some numbers at Godshill. One was also seen in Firestone Copse in 2014. It is probably overlooked, and it may be found in new areas by searching for the adult moth which often rests on the flowers of the foodplant in sunshine, feeding on the nectar. The larva feeds within seeds of Greater Stitchwort, living within a movable case. Adult wingspan 9-11 mm.

37.003 [B&F: 0488] Coleophora limoniella (Stainton, 1884) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in saltmarshes throughout much of south-eastern England, with records north to Lincolnshire. Common in the salt-marshes of the Isle of Wight and southern Hampshire. Wingspan 10-11 mm. Imago fairly distinctive with its silver metallic markings; it comes readily to light and may be netted at dusk over its foodplant. Larva feeds within flowers and seedheads of Common Sea-lavender, living within a movable case, which can be quite easy to find amongst the foodplant.

37.005 [B&F: 0490] Coleophora lutipennella (Zeller, 1838) - Common
Common in oak woodland, woodland rides and areas with scattered trees throughout much of England, Wales and southern Scotland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight common and widespread. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Imago very similar to C. flavipennella. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Oak, living within a movable case, which differs from that of C. flavipennella in having leaf material at the back end of the case.

Common in open woodland, scrubland, waste ground, downland and gardens throughout much of Britain, except for the extreme north of Scotland, the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common. Wingspan 10.5-13 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Dog-rose and Cultivated Rose, living within a movable case.

37.009 [B&F: 0496] Coleophora milvipennis Zeller, 1839 - Local
Local on heathland and in open woodland throughout much of Britain; rare in Ireland. Probably under-recorded in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, where the extent of known records correlate with those areas in which the recording effort is concentrated. Wingspan 10.5-13 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection.

Local in hedgerows, woodland margins and scrubland throughout much of England. In Hampshire largely restricted to the south-east of the county and known from the Isle of Wight only from the north-west. Wingspan 9-11 mm. Differs from C. adjectella in having dark-tipped scales over much of the forewing; C. trigeminella has dark-tipped scales nearly confined to wing-apex (MBGBI Vol 3). Larva mines leaves of English and Small-leaved Elm, preferring young trees, and living within a movable case; case length 5-6 mm.

37.017 [B&F: 0494a] Coleophora prunifoliae Doets, 1944 - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in hedgerows and scrubland throughout England. In Hampshire apparently restricted to the coastal strip east of Southampton, from Brownwich and Titchfield Haven to Hayling Island. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 9-12 mm. Adults are indistinguishable externally from C. coracipennella and C. spinella and identification therefore relies on dissection of the genitalia. Larva mines leaves of Blackthorn and also Dwarf Cherry and Apple, living and feeding within a movable case; no feature is known for distinguishing cases of the three species, and the moths must therefore be bred and dissected.

Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland margins, woodland rides and heathland throughout much of southern England, with records north to Leicestershire. In Hampshire first recorded in the county from Havant Thicket in 1979, and since from Crab Wood, Emer Bog and Botley Wood in the south, and Pamber Forest, Fleet Pond and Blagden Lodge, Wildhern, in the north. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 7.5-10 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Hazel and Downy Birch, living within a movable case.

Common in freshwater margins, woodland, bogs and fens throughout much of the British Isles, except for the extreme north of Scotland and the Orkney and Shetland Islands. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight common and widespread, especially in the south of the county. Wingspan 10-13.5 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Sallow, Willow, Osier, Bog-myrtle and Birch, living within a movable case.

37.026 [B&F: 0509] Coleophora violacea (Ström, 1783) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in open woodland, parks and scrubland throughout much of Britain, except for the far north of Scotland and the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. In Hampshire apparently rather scarce, typical finds being of single cases or single moths at light; an empty case was found on the Isle of Wight in 1995. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the fact that the larva of this species is highly polyphagous means that cases are difficult to find. Wingspan 9-11 mm. Larva mines leaves of deciduous trees and shrubs, living within a movable case. The case is very similar to that of C. potentillae.

37.028 [B&F: 0510] Coleophora juncicolella Stainton, 1851 - Local
Local on heathland and moorland throughout much of Britain, as far north as west Ross; rare in Ireland. In Hampshire virtually restricted to heaths in the New Forest and the north-east of the county. First recorded on the Isle of Wight in 2015, with another in 2022, both at Headon Warren on the western tip of the island. Wingspan 6-8 mm. Candidates for this taxon may be picked out as it is significantly smaller than other Coleophora, but specimens are required for accurate determination. Larva mines leaves of Heather and Bell Heather, living within a movable case.

In Hampshire first recorded in 1975, from Martyr Worthy, and subsequently from Newtown Common both in northern Hampshire; since when recorded in the south-east of the county, at Botley Wood, Wickham Common and Havant Thicket. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10.5-14 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Birch and Alder, living within a movable case. In Hampshire cases have been found mainly on birch.

Local on rough grassland, waste ground and roadside verges throughout much of the British Isles, less numerous in Scotland, more numerous in the south. In Hampshire widely but thinly distributed, records increasing in recent years; on the Island still rarely reported. Wingspan 15-20 mm. The comparatively large size, metallic green forewings with copper apex and white tip to antennae, make this species one of the few which can be identified without recourse to dissection of the genitalia, although the differences in size between this and other related species may only be obvious in series of mounted, set specimens. Larva feeds within seedpods of Ribbed Melilot and Tall Melilot, living within a movable case.

37.035 [B&F: 0517] Clover Case-bearer Coleophora alcyonipennella (Kollar, 1832) - Local
Local on rough grassland and waste ground, although the exact status and distribution of this species is unclear due to past confusion with C. frischella, which is very similar and can only be separated through dissection of the genitalia. In Hampshire widespread and almost certainly under-recorded; this is certainly the case on Wight, where it was determined for the first time at Totland in 2021 and found to be common at the same site in 2022. Wingspan 11.5-14.5 mm. Larva feeds within seedheads of White Clover, living within a movable case.

37.038 [B&F: 0522] Coleophora lineolea (Haworth, 1828) - Local
Local in hedgerows and waste ground throughout much of southern England and Wales, with records north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire the majority of records are from Portsea and Hayling Islands, with scattered records elsewhere across our two counties. Wingspan 11-14.5 mm. Candidates for this species can be picked out by the yellow-ochreous wing veins, but is more easily verified at the larval stage with its distinctive case made of rings of mined leaf, fully developed in May. Larva mines leaves of labiates, in particular Hedge Woundwort and Black Horehound, but also uses White Horehound and Betony.

37.040 [B&F: 0524] Coleophora lithargyrinella Zeller, 1849 - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in open woodland, hedgerows, cliffs and shingle beaches in parts of the British Isles, one of the more widespread coleophorids in Britain. In Hampshire first recorded on Odiham Common in 1963, with occasional reports from the north since: remarkably not found in the south of the county until 2022, when a case was found at Brownwich. Not recorded on the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 11-13.5 mm. Very similar to C. solitariella. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Greater Stitchwort and Sea Campion, living within a movable case.

Nationally scarce (Na) in rough grassland, damp heathland, mosses and moorland in England northwards to Loch Ness, Scotland; rare in North Wales (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire virtually restricted to the New Forest and, in the north of the county, Bartley Heath. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1969. Wingspan 11-13 mm. Very similar to C. saturatella. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Petty Whin, living within a movable case, often several together.

37.044 [B&F: 0547] Coleophora discordella Zeller, 1849 - Common
Common in rough grassland, downland and woodland clearings and in marshes and other damp places throughout much of the British Isles, except the Shetland Islands. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight rather infrequently recorded, with the usual concentration of records in the south-east of the county, probably under-recorded elsewhere. Wingspan 11-12.5 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Common Bird's-foot Trefoil and Greater Bird's-foot Trefoil, living within a movable case.

Local on waste ground, grassland and roadside verges throughout S. England and S. Wales. In Hampshire recorded fairly frequently only in the south-east, but the true distribution poorly known due to confusion with other related species. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1900. Wingspan 10.5-12.5 mm. Day-flying, but comes to light, although less frequently than other related species. Can be separated from C. alcyonipennella and C. frischella only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds within seedheads of Red Clover, living within a movable case; case length 6 mm.

Wingspan 10.5-12 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds within seedheads of White Clover, living within a movable case, and can be collected and bred through as described in MBGBI Vol 3.

37.051 [B&F: 0537] Coleophora kuehnella (Goeze, 1783) - Local
Local in oak woodland and oak scrub throughout England. Sparsely recorded in Hampshire, and more frequent in the southern half. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1900. Wingspan 14-17 mm. As an adult, the main confusion species are C. betulella, in which the costal cilia are not tipped white, and C. ibipennella, which shares the white-tipped cilia of C. kuehnella, but which is normally smaller and has the base of the cilia blackish rather than grey (MBGBI Vol 3). Larva mines leaves of Oak, living within a distinctive case with a characteristic 'bubble' appearance; case length 8 mm.

37.059 [B&F: 0538] Coleophora vibicella (Hübner, [1813]) - pRDB2
Vulnerable (proposed as a future Red Data Book species) in rough pastures and woodland rides, declining, and now probably restricted to Hampshire and adjoining counties, a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. In Hampshire recorded recently from Beaulieu, Hayling Island, Stubbington and, most notably, Botley Wood; on the Isle of Wight recorded recently only from Newtown NR. Wingspan 17-22 mm. Almost always recorded in the larval stage, when the cases are fairly easy to find where they are present; the adult can only be separated from similar Coleophora by dissection of the genitalia. Larva mines leaves of Dyer's Greenweed, living within a movable case; case length 19 mm.

Nationally scarce (Nb) on downland, calcareous grassland, sand-dunes and rocky slopes in parts of the British Isles, predominantly coastal in the north of its range. Restricted in Hampshire to a handful of sites, including Porton Down, Oxenbourne, Portsdown, Leckford, Micheldever Spoil Heaps, Lower Test Marshes and Broughton Down. Recorded on the Isle of Wight at Freshwater in 2011, for the first time in over a century. Wingspan 16-21 mm. Flies in afternoon sunshine and at night. Similar to Basil-thyme Case-bearer C. tricolor, but with upperside of apical portion of antenna white (MBGBI Vol 3). Larva mines leaves of Wild Thyme and various grasses, living within a movable case; case length 11 mm.

Common in woodland throughout much of the British Isles, except for the extreme north of Scotland, the Outer Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded widely, but thinly, with the usual cluster of records in the south-east of the county, and probably under-recorded elsewhere. Wingspan 8-11 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of European Larch, living within a movable case, causing sufficient damage to be a serious pest in some areas.

Nationally scarce (Nb) in saltmarshes on the coast of England and Wales from Cumbria to Suffolk (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight exclusively confined to the coast, where declining, and now largely restricted to the south-east of the county. Wingspan 8-11 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds within seed capsules of Saltmarsh Rush, living within a movable case.

Common in woodland clearings, damp meadows and marshes, both salt and fresh-water, throughout much of England, Wales and southern Ireland. In Hampshire widespread; the paucity of records from the Isle of Wight no doubt reflects historical under-recording, as evidenced by an increase in known range in recent years. Wingspan 8-10 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection. Larva feeds within seed capsules of Compact Rush, Soft-rush, Jointed Rush, Hard Rush and Saltmarsh Rush, subsequently living within a movable case.

37.070 [B&F: 0583] Coleophora tamesis Waters, 1929 - Local
Local in damp meadows, bogs and woodland rides throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire very infrequent on the south coast, from Southsea in the east to Keyhaven in the west, with a few old records from the north of the county. First recorded on the Isle of Wight in 2021. Wingspan 11-14 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and best identified from the larval cases, found on the seeds of Jointed Rush.

VC10: Totland, one, 1 x female gen. det, 27 Jun (RTer)
37.071 [B&F: 0582] Coleophora glaucicolella Wood, 1892 - Common
Common in marshes, fens, damp meadows, woodland rides and saltmarshes throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight occurs principally in the south of the county and the north of the Island, with isolated records in the north of the county, at Sherborne St John, Fleet Pond, Eelmoor Marsh and Winnall Moor. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Very similar to C. alticolella. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds on seeds of Compact Rush, Soft-rush, Hard Rush and Saltmarsh Rush, living within a movable case.

37.073 [B&F: 0584] Coleophora alticolella Zeller, 1849 - Common
Common on heathland, damp meadows, marshes and a wide range of other habitats throughout much of the British Isles. Probably the most ubiquitous species of Coleophora occurring in the British Isles, having been recorded from almost every county and often in great abundance (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widespread and common, most frequent in the south-east. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Very similar to C. glaucicolella. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds on seeds of Soft-rush and Heath Rush, living within a movable case.

37.074 [B&F: 0581] Coleophora taeniipennella Herrich-Schäffer, 1855 - Common
Common in fens, damp meadows and marshes throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire almost certainly under-recorded within other Juncus-feeding species, but recorded from areas such the New Forest, Botley Wood and Pamber Forest; recent work has found it to be relatively frequent in the west of the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 9-12 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and best recorded by searching for the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form on seeds of Jointed Rush and Sharp-flowered Rush.

Nationally scarce (Nb) in bare muddy places and sand-dunes in the south-western counties of England and Ireland, and the Channel Island. In Hampshire mainly restricted to the south-east corner of the county, with a few records from bogs in the New Forest; on the Isle of Wight, recorded at Yarmouth in 1992, but not subsequently. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds within seed capsules of Toad Rush, living within a movable case.

37.081 [B&F: 0561] Coleophora therinella Tengström, 1848 - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) on waste ground and farmland in England, south of a line from The Wash to the Severn estuary, and in Ireland from the Burren district of Co. Clare (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire occasional at light in the south-east of the county, at Botley Wood and in Southsea, outside this area, recorded only at Teg Down, Winchester, where the first cases ever to be found in Britain were discovered in August 1990. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1900. Wingspan 13-16 mm. Very similar to C. peribenanderi, from which only separated in 1942. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds on seeds of Black Bindweed, living within a movable case.

37.086 [B&F: 0568] Coleophora versurella Zeller, 1849 - Local
Local on saltmarshes, waste ground and farmland in England and Wales, as far north as Co. Durham, and the Isle of Man (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire largely restricted to the south-east coast, but there are a few inland records identified through dissection that indicate it is very likely to be more widespread than records suggest. Certainly, detailed work on the Isle of Wight since 2020 has indicated that it is likely to bre relatively common and under-recorded. Wingspan 11-15 mm. Imago very similar to C. sternipennella, from which only reliably separated by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds on seeds of Orache and Goosefoot, living within a movable case. Case indistinguishable from those of href="lep.php?code=37.083">C. saxicolella, C. sternipennella and C. vestianella.

In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight present in suitable habitat in the south-east of the county and on the north coast of the Island. Wingspan 12-14 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection.

In Hampshire common in the south-east, but otherwise only sparsely recorded and apparently absent from the New Forest; on the Isle of Wight, generally uncommon. Wingspan 12.5-15 mm. Very similar to C. therinella, from which only separated in 1942. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection.

Nationally scarce (Na) on Ploughman's Spikenard on dry downland and Common Fleabane in damp meadows, formerly in small colonies from Surrey to Caernarvonshire, but in recent years known only from south-east Hampshire, West Sussex and Herefordshire. In Hampshire restricted to Botley Wood and Portsea and Hayling Islands; on the Isle of Wight, and in North Hampshire, there have been no recent records. Wingspan 13-16.5 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Ploughman's-spikenard and Common Fleabane, living within a movable case, over-wintering twice. Because of the biennial cycle, adults are likely to be found only in alternate years (MBGBI Vol 3).

Common in rough grassland, waste ground, woodland rides, damp woodland, marshes, river-banks and other damp areas throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire fairly well-distributed, with the usual concentration of records in the south-east, probably under-recorded elsewhere. First recorded on the Isle of Wight at Brighstone Down in 2009. Wingspan 11-13 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds within seed capsules of Lesser Stitchwort, Common Chickweed, Common Mouse-ear and Water Chickweed, living within a movable case.

Nationally scarce (Nb) in hedgerows and open woodland in southern England, as far north as Lincolnshire, and eastern Wales (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight recorded only a handful of times, mainly in the south of the county, with a single record from the Island. Wingspan 10-12 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Greater Stitchwort, living within a movable case.

37.102 [B&F: 0563] Coleophora argentula (Stephens, 1834) - Common
Common on waste ground and rough grassland, and by ditches and freshwater margins, throughout much of southern England, Wales and central Scotland. In south Hampshire, cases are common to abundant on yarrow, especially near the coast, but recorded less frequently in the north and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 9.5-13 mm. More frequently recorded in the larval stage, when the cases are fairly easy to find where they are present; the imago can be separated from several very similar Coleophora species only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva feeds on flowers and seedheads of Yarrow and Sneezewort, living within a movable case; case length 5-6 mm.

37.103 [B&F: 0555] Coleophora follicularis (Vallot, 1802) - Local
Local in damp meadows, marshes, river-banks and woodland rides throughout much of Britain, but not in northern Scotland; occurs also in the southern half of Ireland and in the Channel Islands. In southern Hampshire, widespread and common in the east, notably in and around Botley Wood, and also recorded from the Beaulieu Estate and Needs Ore; very rare in the north of the county, where the only recent records are from Leckford, and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 13-15 mm. Very similar to C. trochilella, from which only separated in 1962. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Hemp-agrimony, Common Fleabane and Ploughman's-spikenard, living within a movable case.

37.104 [B&F: 0567] Coleophora adspersella Benander, 1939 - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in saltmarshes, waste ground, farmland and fens throughout much of England and Wales, south of a line from The Wash to the Mersey estuary (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire largely restricted to the south-east coast, with just a few inland records, including one in northern Hampshire, at Greywell in July 2004. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 13-16 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds on seeds of Grass-leaved Orache and Sea-purslane, living within a movable case.

37.106 [B&F: 0560] Coleophora paripennella Zeller, 1839 - Local
Local on roadside verges, rough grassland and waste ground throughout the British Isles, as far north as Aberdeenshire. In Hampshire common in the south-east, especially in and around Botley Wood, but likely under-recorded elsewhere in both counties, particularly on the chalk where it is known from scattered locations. Wingspan 10-13 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva mines leaves of Creeping Thistle and Common Knapweed, living within a movable case.

37.108 [B&F: 0588] Coleophora salicorniae Heinemann & Wocke, [1876] - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in saltmarshes along much of the coast of England, from Cornwall to Yorkshire, and in parts of Wales. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight restricted to coasts in the south-east of the county and north-west of the Island. Wingspan 12-14 mm. Like many of the Coleophora, imagines are virtually impossible to identify without recourse to dissection, and the larvae, which live in cases of characteristic form and which can sometimes be found on the foodplant, may be easier to identify by comparison against a reference collection. Larva feeds within seeds of Glasswort, living within a movable case, buried in mud.
