Coleophora albens is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Turkestan and Uzbekistan.

The larvae feed on Astragalus and Ammodendron species. They create a silky, massive, almost round case with a cover. It has smooth oblique wrinkles and the surface is smooth and lustrous. The cover only encloses the caudal end of case, which is down-curved. The valve is two-sided. The length of the case is 13-16 mm and it is whitish with yellow or cream tinge. Larvae can be found on the beginning of June and (after diapause) from the end of April to May.^[2]
