Coleophora albicella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in France, Spain, Corsica and Sardinia.
The larvae feed on Artemisia caerulescens gallica and Santolina chamaecyparissus. They create a tubular silken case. The surface has a number of fine, vague, length lines and a white dumentum. The case is 6-7 mm long, trivalved and has a mouth angle of about 0°. The case has a rather sharp bend just behind the mouth.[2] Larvae can be found from October to June.
