Nel, 1991[1]Coleophora telonica is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in southern France.
The larvae feed on Alyssum spinosum. They create a greyisch composite leaf case of about 9 mm built from 3-5 mined leaf fragments. The mouth angle is 50-60°.[2] Hibernation takes place when the cases are still small. Full-grown larvae can be found in spring when the hostplant is developing new foliage.
