Coleophora galbulipennella is a moth of the family Coleophoridae or leaf miners.

It is known from Europe, where it is found from Sweden to Spain, Italy and Greece and from Great Britain to southern Russia.

Silene nutans can sometimes be found in the UK National Vegetation Classification habitat communities: the very widespread MG1 (Arrhenatherum elatius grassland), and thus can be found where Arrhenatherum elatius, (also known as false oat grass), and/or Dactylis glomerata, (cock's-foot), occurs.

[2] They create a trivalved, tubular silken case of about 12 mm (0.47 in) long.

The case is yellowish white, with several characteristic dark length lines.
