Coleophora genistae is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found from Sweden to the Iberian Peninsula, Sardinia, Italy and Greece and from Great Britain to Romania. It is also known from Turkey. [2]
The wingspan is about 12 millimetres (0.47 in). Adults have brownish forewings with a white costal streak. They are on wing from June to August in western Europe. [3]
The larvae feed on petty whin ( Genista anglica ), Genista lobelii and hairy greenweed ( Genista pilosa ). They create a lobe case, with each lobe consisting of a mined leaflet that has been sliced open at one side. The complete case strongly resembles a grass spikelet. The mouth angle is 20-40°. [4] The leaves are blanched by the feeding. The larvae often feed gregariously. Full-grown larvae can be found in June.
