2021 Annual Report for: Coleophoridae / Coleophorinae
For species seen in 2021 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is taken from the main Hantsmoths website, and it is possible that some information on abundance and occurrence can get out of date, as it is impossible to keep up with all changes; however it should give a good introduction to each species.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 2021 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 2021, 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) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) in open woodland in southern England and south Wales. Restricted to a few sites in Hampshire, such as Pamber Forest and Botley Wood, but not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1929. Wingspan 9-11 mm. Flies over the foodplant in sunshine and rests on the flowers, feeding on the nectar (MBGBI Vol 3). Larva feeds within seeds of Greater Stitchwort, subsequently living within a movable case.

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.

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.

37.030 [B&F: 0512] Coleophora binderella (Kollar, 1832) - Local
Local in alder carr, woodland and heaths in Britain, as far north as Inverness-shire; recorded in Ireland only from Cos Kerry and Leith. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widely distributed, but rather infrequent with only about two or three records annually. Wingspan 8-12 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 Alder, Hazel, Birch and Hornbeam, living within a movable case.

Local in hedgerows, open woodland, fens and downland throughout much of England and Wales, more numerous in the south. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight there are scattered records throughout, with no apparent population centre. Wingspan 10-13 mm. The pale tarsi that gives the species its scientific name are a ready means of recognition. Larva mines leaves of Wild Basil, Wild Marjoram, Self-heal, Ground-ivy and Mint, living within a movable case; case length 9 mm.

37.033 [B&F: 0516] Coleophora trifolii (Curtis, 1832) - Local
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.

Nationally scarce (Nb) in chalk downland and freshwater margins in parts of southern England and southern Wales. In Hampshire mainly confined to the south-east, with just a handful of records in the north of the county and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 12-16 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 mines leaves of Ploughman's-spikenard and Common Fleabane, 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.

Common on grassland, roadside verges and waste ground throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire reported at light across much of the county, but no recent records from the Isle of Wight. 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.

37.049 [B&F: 0533] Pistol Case-bearer Coleophora anatipennella (Hübner, 1796) - Local
Local in scrubland, hedgerows, parks and gardens in southern England and Wales; rare elsewhere. In Hampshire virtually restricted to the south coast in the east of the county, very rare inland or in the west; on the Isle of Wight, the few records have all been on the north coast. Wingspan 12.5-17 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 Blackthorn, and also Wild Cherry, Hawthorn, Apple, Pear and Rowan, living within a movable pistol-case.

37.050 [B&F: 0532] Coleophora albidella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775) - Local
Local in fens, bogs, damp woodland, marshes, river-banks and damp areas throughout much of England and Wales, most frequently in the west; rare in Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, it appears be nowhere frequent even in appropriate habitat, with the cases hard to find and most records relate to adults at light that have been critically examined. The larva feeds within buds of Grey Willow, Eared Willow and Creeping Willow, preferring young trees, living within a distinctive curled case.

37.052 [B&F: 0535] Coleophora ibipennella Zeller, 1849 - Local
Local in oak woodland in the south-east of England, extending in decreasing numbers northwards and westwards to Lincolnshire, Herefordshire and Cornwall (MBGBI Vol 3). In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widely distributed and fairly common throughout. Wingspan 10-14 mm. Thoroughly confused with C. betulella in the past. 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, subsequently living within a movable pistol-case.

Local in heathland and birch woodland throughout much of England, southern Wales and western Ireland. In Hampshire fairly well-distributed in the north and south of the county, but apparently absent in central Hampshire east of Winchester. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 10-15 mm. Thoroughly confused with C. ibipennella in the past.

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.

37.061 [B&F: 0530] Coleophora lixella Zeller, 1849 - Nationally Scarce B
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.

37.069 [B&F: 0587] Coleophora caespititiella Zeller, 1839 - Common
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.

37.071 [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.

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.

37.095 [B&F: 0556] Coleophora trochilella (Duponchel, [1843]) - Nationally Scarce B
Nationally scarce (Nb) on downland, open scrubland and grassy slopes across southern England and Wales, north to Yorkshire. In Hampshire recorded predominantly from the south-east, where the majority of records are from Southsea, Portsmouth and Botley Wood, elsewhere individuals have been recorded at Leckford, Eelmoor Marsh SSSI and Barton-on-Sea. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight since 1969. Wingspan 11-14 mm. The main confusion species is C. follicularis, from which it is separable only by dissection of the genitalia. Larva mines leaves of Mugwort, Ox-eye Daisy, Tansy, Wormwood and Yarrow, living within a movable case; case length 10 mm.

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.

37.107 [B&F: 0589] Coleophora clypeiferella Hofmann, 1871 - Nationally Scarce A
Nationally scarce (Na) and declining on waste ground, grassland and farmland in central and south-eastern England. In Hampshire recorded only for the first time at Southsea on 24 August 2007, and subsequently encountered on an occasional basis at light in the Portsmouth area. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight to date. Wingspan 12-15.5 mm. Distinguished from the otherwise similar C. salicorniae, and all other species, by the unusual structure on the first abdominal tergite (MBGBI Vol 3). Larva feeds within seedheads of Fat-hen, living within a movable case; case length 5-6 mm.
