Coleophora onobrychiella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Sweden to the Pyrenees, Italy and Greece and from France to Romania. It is also found in China.[2]
The larvae feed on Astragalus arenarius, Astragalus hamosus, Astragalus onobrychis, Genista tincoria, Hippocrepis comosa, Onobrychis sativa, Onobrychis saxatilis, Onobrychis supina and Onobrychis viciifolia. They create a straw-coloured lobe case of 8–10 mm. It has a mouth angle of 55-60°. The shape of the case is exceptionally variable. The mouth opening is shifted to the side of the case, causing the case to lie on its side on the leaf.[4] Larvae can be found from autumn to the following June.
