Coleophora paraptarmica is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in Afghanistan, Central Asia and Pakistan.
The larvae feed on Artemisia turanica. They create a leafy case, consisting of several leaf pieces, arranged very irregularly. The caudal end of the case is slightly down-curved, but is sometimes almost straight. The valve is two-sided. The length of the case is 5.5-6.5 mm and it is yellow or light chocolate-brown in color, although the caudal part is much darker and brownish. Larvae can found in the beginning of June and (after diapause) in May. [2]
The Coleophoridae are a family of small moths, belonging to the huge superfamily Gelechioidea. Collectively known as case-bearers, casebearing moths or case moths, this family is represented on all continents, but the majority are found in temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere. They are most common in the Palearctic, and rare in sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and Australia; consequently, they probably originated in northern Eurasia. They are relatively common in houses, they seek out moist areas to rest and procreate.
