Coleophora dubiella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia, Spain, France, southern Russia and Turkey.
The larvae feed on the leaves of Artemisia species, including Artemisia fragrans. They create a brownish-white, pistol-shaped case enclosed within two nautilus-shaped lateral silky covers.
