Coleophora caelebipennella Zeller, 1839

from Toll (1952a)
case
Two-valved, brownish black, matt, silken case (“sheath case”). Case not constricted behind the mouth. Ventrally a deep keel. Dorsally, at the frontal half of the case, some 4 length ribs. Length 12-15 mm, mouth angle c. 45°.
host plants
Asteraceae, oligophagous
Achillea millefolium; Artemisia absinthium, alba, campestris, vulgaris; Centaurea; Chrysanthemum; Gnaphalium; Helichrysum arenarium, italicum & subsp. serotinum, stoechas; Tanacetum vulgare.
Ivinskis & Savenkov add Cota tinctoria.
It is not clear whether the reference to “Chrysanthemum” (by, among others, Hering (1957a)) refers to Chrysanthemum sensu stricto, Leucanthemum, or Tanacetum. It will not be the most important host plant anyway. For Suire (1961a) that are Helichrysum species, for Patzak (1974a) Artemisia campestris.
