Coleophora hospitiella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found on the Canary Islands (Tenerife, La Gomera, Fuerteventura), North Africa (including Libya and Tunisia), Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. [2]

The larvae feed on Medicago laciniata . They create a rather flat lobe case of 7–9 mm long, composed of fairly large leaf fragments. Later, the larvae start feeding on the ripening seeds. [3] Larvae can be found from January to May. Dependent on rain, larvae may wait one to several years before pupation takes place.
