Taxonomy
Superfamily:
Gelechioidea
Family:
Coleophoridae
Subfamily:
Coleophorinae
Tribe:
[Coleophorini]
P3 Number:
59a1563.1
MONA Number:
1337.00
Comments:
The genus
Coleophora
is one of the most taxonomically challenging groups in North America. With only a few exceptions, most species cannot be identified based on photographs or external characters. The shape of the larval cases and host plants are very useful in identifying species, and high-quality dissections of genitalia are essential to recognize the majority of species. There are numerous species complexes with many undescribed species, and the taxonomy of Nearctic species remains largely unresolved.
