Coleophora astragalorum is a moth of the Coleophoridae family that can be found in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.[2]
The larvae feed on Astragalus and Ammodendron species. They create a silky case with a dull white cover. The valve of the case is two-sided. The length is about 9 millimetres (0.35 in) and it is pale chocolate-brown or chocolate-brown to yellow in color. Larvae can be found at the end of May and (after diapause) from the end of March to April.[3]
