Coleophora fragilella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Description: Wingspan 11.5 to 14.5 mm. In certain lights this species shows the same brassy metallic look as other family members.[2]
In common with its close relative it inhabits grassy areas where the food plant, clover (Trifolium sp.), is abundant. The larvae feed on the seeds from within a cryptic case.[3]
