Coleophora asperginella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in Turkestan and southern Russia. It occurs in desert biotopes.
Adults are on wing in August.[2]
The larvae feed on Climacopiera species and Corispermum aralo-caspicum. They create a combined case. The caudal part has a membrane of fruit, while the cephalic part consists of leaf pieces. The valve is three-sided but also somewhat flat. The length of the case is 7–8 mm and it is greenish-brown in color. Larvae can be found from May to June.[3]
