Coleophora squamella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from the Czech Republic to Sardinia and Italy and from France to Romania. It is also known from Turkey.[2]
Adults are on wing in autumn and late spring.
The larvae feed on Dorycnium pentaphyllum, Dorycnium pentaphyllum germanicum, Lotus corniculatus, Lotus cytisoides, Lotus tenuis and Lotus uliginosus. They create a laterally compressed, somewhat arched composite leaf case of 5–6 mm, made of only a few, rather large leaf fragments. The mouth angle is about 45°.[3] Larvae can be found from early summer to spring.
