Taxonomy

It was described by Jacob Hübner in 1796. It is the type species of its genus ( Coleophora ) and, via that, of its family. [1]

It is not completely understood to what moth Johann August Ephraim Goeze's 1783 description of the supposedly distinct C. bernoulliella refers to, but it is presumed to be the same species as C. anatipennella. [1]

Range and ecology

C. anatipennella is found in Europe eastwards to the Ural Mountains; southeastwards its range extends across Asia Minor to Iran. [1] It has also been recorded from Japan.

The caterpillars feed mainly on the leaves of Rosaceae and Fagales trees, as well as some others. Recorded host plants are: [1]
