Abstract

A new species of Coleophoridae, Coleophora inconspicua Richter & Šumpich, sp. nov., is described from rocky habitat near Albarracín (Teruel) in Spain. Coleophora afrodianthi Tabell, 2023, until recently confused with C. dianthi Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], is recorded from Europe for the first time. Photographs of adults, as well as photos of their genitalia and abdominal segment, are provided for both species.
