Taxonomy
Superfamily:

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.
