Coleophora fuscocuprella Herrich-Schaffer, 1855[1]

Coleophora fuscocuprella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Pyrenees, Italy, Albania and Romania and from Ireland to Russia.

The wingspan is 8-10 mm.^[2] There is one generation per year with adults on wing from mid May to late June.^[3]

The larvae feed on Alnus, Betula pendula, Betula pubescens, Carpinus betulus and Corylus avellana. They create a lobe case with many small leaf fragments attached to it. The larvae are attached to the leaf underside, where they make a large number of relatively small fleck mines.^[4] Full-grown cases can be found in August and October. Pupation takes place in the case, usually attached to a trunk just above ground level.
