Coleophora deviella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found from Denmark to Spain , Sardinia, Sicily and Greece and from Great Britain to southern Russia . It occurs in desert-steppe and desert biotopes.
The wingspan is 9–10 mm. There is one generation per year with adults on wing from late June to July in western Europe[2] and from late May to June in Russia.[3]
The larvae feed on the leaves and fruits of Bassia laniflora, Suaeda (including Suaeda maritima), Kochia, Salsola and Halostachys species. Full grown larvae live in a pale yellowish brown, trivalved, tubular silken case of about 9 mm with a mouth angle of 20-30°.[4] Larvae can be found from August onwards.
