Coleophora arctostaphyli is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in Europe.
The wingspan is 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in).[2]
The larvae feed on Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. They create a spatulate leaf case of about 8 mm (0.31 in) long. The mouth angle is about 45°. Before making its first case, the young larvae live in a frass-filled contorted corridor.[3] The larval stage lasts two seasons. In the first autumn, they live in a mine, where hibernation occurs. After hibernation, a case is made in which it feeds until spring, then aestivates, feeds in autumn and overwinters for the second time. During the second spring, a new case is made and the larva feeds until April or May when it is full-grown.
It is found from Fennoscandia to the Iberian Peninsula and Italy and from Great Britain to Poland.
