Coleophora stegosaurus is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Uzbekistan.
The larvae feed on Lycium ruthenicum. They create a leafy case, consisting of up to 20 pieces of leaf. The pieces are glued together only on the upper side. The entire lower side of the case consists only of a silky network. The valve is two-sided. The length of the case is 11-13 mm. The color of the silky base of the case is chocolate-brown, while the leafy pieces are chocolate-brown to yellow. Larvae can be found from the end of May to October.[2]
