Coleophora ahenella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in all of Europe, except Ireland and the Balkan Peninsula.

The wingspan is about 12 mm (0.47 in). [2] Adults are unicolourous grey with a slight sheen. They are on wing in May and June.

The larvae feed on Cornus mas , Cornus sanguinea , Lonicera alpigena , Lonicera nigra , Lonicera xylosteum , Lonicera chrysantha , Rhamnus catharticus , Rhamnus frangula , Symphoricarpos albus and Viburnum lantana . They create a lobe case of about 7 mm (0.28 in) long. The mouth angle is 0°, causing the case to lie flat on the leaf. The case is gradually enlarged by the addition of rings that are cut out of the lower epidermis of the mine. [3] In Great Britain, the larvae live for two years.
