Coleophora salinella is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found from Great Britain to Ukraine, south to the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily and Cyprus.
The wingspan is 8.5–13 mm.[2]
The larvae feed on Atriplex littoralis, Atriplex patula, Atriplex prostrata and Halimione portulacoides. Full-grown larvae live in an almost smooth, greyish-brown, trivalved, tubular silken case of about 6 mm. The case has a mouth angle of 30-45°.[3] Larvae can be found from September to October, then they hibernate and pupate in June or July.
