Coleophora crepidinella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found on the Iberian Peninsula, Mallorca, Sardinia, Sicily and in Greece.
The larvae feed on Beta maritima. They create a cylindrical, 6–7 mm long, tubular silken case with a mouth angle of 75-80°. The rim of the mouth is dark brown, fading to light brown more to the rear.[2] At flowering time the larvae feed on the ground leaves. Later, they feed on the fruits.
