The Octagonal Casemaker Moth (Coleophora octagonella) is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in North America, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.

The species is misplaced in the genus Coleophora and the Coleophoridae family. It actually belongs to the family Batrachedridae. The larvae feed on lichens which grow on Quercus trees. They construct a case, but it is constructed rather differently from those of Coleophora species.^[2]
