Abstract

The work presents the results of the study of the South American Coleophoridae of the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. Ten species have been identified, of which Coleophora pulchricornis Walsingham, 1897 is new for South America, and four are new for science: C. andina Baldizzone, sp. n., C. aconcaguae Baldizzone, sp. n., C. rasmusseni Baldizzone, sp. n., C. peruana Baldizzone, sp. n. Two species, C. breyeri Pastrana, 1963 and C. haywardi Pastrana, 1963 are redescribed and information is provided on the host plant and larval case of C. intexta Meyrick, 1917. The new synonymy C. breyeri Pastrana 1963 = C. argentinae van der Wolf, 1999, syn. n., is established.
