Abstract: Host plants and cases of several species in the genus Coleophora Hübner, 1822 have remained unknown until now, while the latter structures provide important characters for identification. Host plants and cases of Coleophora lessinica Baldizzone, 1980 and Coleophora impalella Toll, 1961 were discovered by the authors and are presented here for the first time. New data on the distribution and biology of the two species in Hungary are given. Coleophora lessinica is recorded as new for the fauna of Romania. DNA barcode sequencing was performed for both Coleophora species and loaded into the BOLD System and to GenBank.

Coleophora gryphipennella (Hübner, 1796) (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) on Fragaria vesca L. (Rosaceae), a novel host, in the coastal dunes of The Netherlands https://nl.pensoft.net/article/6289/ Nota Lepidopterologica 38(2): 147-155

DOI: 10.3897/nl.38.6289

Authors: John A.M. van Roosmalen, Camiel Doorenweerd

Abstract: During regular surveys of Lepidoptera in the coastal dune North Holland Dune Reserve, we observed larval cases and feeding traces typical for Coleophoridae on wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca L., Rosaceae). The spatulate or pistol shape of the cases excluded Coleophora violacea (Ström, 1783) and C. potentillae Elisha, 1885. According to the literature, C. albicostella (Duponchel, 1842), very rare in The Netherlands, was the only Coleophora species known to create spatulate cases on this host. We collected larval cases for DNA analysis on the larvae and for rearing, which revealed that none of the collected larvae belong to the Coleophoridae previously recorded feeding on this host, but a mixture of three other Coleophora species. We found that early instar larvae of C. lutipennella (Zeller, 1838) and C. flavipennella (Duponchel, 1843), normally feeding on oaks (Quercus spp., Fagaceae) only, may be found feeding on F. vesca in the fall. We also found that C. gryphipennella (Hübner, 1796), abundant on Rose (Rosa spp., Rosaceae) in the coastal dunes of The Netherlands, regularly feeds on F. vesca and rearing experiments proved that it can complete its larval stage on F. vesca. We therefore conclude that Fragaria is a new host genus for C. gryphipennella. After reviewing all the C. albicostella records from The Netherlands, we conclude that it is a very rare species, likely restricted to the southernmost provinces. None of the confirmed records are from reared specimens. The host range of C. albicostella in literature is possibly overestimated and may not even include Fragaria.

Description of the reduced mouth parts of Coleophora micronotella Toll (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae), with a new synonym https://nl.pensoft.net/article/1150/ Nota Lepidopterologica 37(1): 43-48

DOI: 10.3897/nl.37.7953

Authors: Bernard Landry, Giorgio Baldizzone

Abstract: The reduced mouth parts of Coleophora micronotella Toll (Coleophoridae) are described and illustrated. The proboscis is lacking, but rudimentary maxillary and labial palpi are present. The mouth parts of C. micronotella are compared with those of other species of Coleophora, including some others with reduced mouth parts, and their possible adaptive value is discussed. Ramidomia Falkovitsh, 2005 and Ramidiomia Falkovitsh, 2005, a misspelling, are synonymized with Coleophora Hübner, 1822.
