Coleophora spiraeella Rebel, 1916

case
Dark brown to blackish spatulate leaf case of 7-9 mm. Rear end somewhat lighter in colour, bivalved. Mouth angle sharp (Toll, 1962a).
Hering (1957a) writes that the youth case is bivalved, the final case however trivalved. Toll’s drawing does not seem to confirm this.
