1d Ostial plate quadrate, domed > 37.012 Coleophora limosipennella
Signum small; ?ventral margin of ostium with heavier sclerotisation than antrum

1e Signum small with a very small base plate > 37.008 Coleophora adjectella
1f Signum medium with a standard base plate > 37.009 Coleophora milvipennis
2. Distinct spiculation in posterior part of ductus bursae
1a No signum > 37.019 Coleophora trigeminella
Ostium from a deep incision in posterior margin of ostial plate, almost reaching anterior margin; anterior apophyses much longer than ostial plate; antrum sclerotised; short linear section of spicules adjacent to antrum

1e Strongly sclerotised antrum extending ~length of ostial plate anterior to anterior margin of ostial plate > 37.068 Coleophora adjunctella
Ostium central; two spiculate lines extending for about same length as antrum; signum large
Ostium central; two spiculate lines extending for about same length as antrum; signum large
1f Linear spiculation extending from ostium for ⅖ length of ductus bursae > 37.021 Coleophora arctostaphyli
Ostium near anterior margin of ostial plate arising from a deep rectangular incision in posterior margin; no significant antrum; signum large
Ostium near anterior margin of ostial plate arising from a deep rectangular incision in posterior margin; no significant antrum; signum large
37.067 Coleophora antennariella (extinct) would also key here. It has a "tail" of spiculation from the ostium to the ductus seminilis at ~⅖; ostial plate transverse; ostium arising from a deep incision in posterior margin; small signum
