Coleophora cornutella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Fennoscandia to the Pyrenees and the Alps and from France to Romania.
The larvae feed on Betula pubescens. They feed only on seedlings of less than 50 mm high. They create a bivalved lobe case. The front end is very broad and the rear end strongly narrowed and curved downwards. The length is 7-7.5 mm and the mouth angle is about 30°.[3] Larvae can be found from September to May.
