Coleophora calycotomella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from the Netherlands and Germany to the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, Sicily and Crete.
The wingspan is 11.5–15 mm.[2]
The larvae feed on Adenocarpus, Calicotome and Cytisus scoparius. They create a composite leaf case with a mouth angle of about 30°. The frontal leaf fragment is brown and hairy, while the older parts are pale and almost smooth. The case is slender, about 18 mm long and bears a strong resemblance to the spines of most of its host plants.[3] Full-grown larvae can be found in March and May.
