Coleophora riffelensis is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It has a fragmented distribution between the Baltic states and central Russia in the north and the Iberian Peninsula and North Macedonia in the south.
The larvae feed on serotinus. Youth cases are 1 mm long and entirely covered by sand grains. Later, they create a trivalved tubular silken case of about 10 mm long. The mouth angle is 35-40°. The colour is light grey with indistinct length lines.[2] Full-grown cases can be found in late June.
