a. Dense circumferential spiculation of mid ductus bursae > 37.015 Coleophora serratella
Densely spiculate section fades at both ends such that the whole length of spiculation may be a little more than 4x width of ductus bursae; ostium posterior from a shallow notch in posterior margin; ostial plate transverse; introitus vaginae sclerotised; signum small to medium sized In all other species in B5 the densely spiculate section is at the posterior end of the ductus bursae

b. Short section of dense sclerotisation in anterior half of ductus bursae > 37.032 Coleophora albitarsella
Ostial plate transverse, signum small |
c. Reticulate or scobinate sclerotisation in mid or anterior ductus bursae; ostial plate quadrate; ostium anterior
ci. Light reticulate sclerotisation of anterior half of ductus bursae > 37.072 Coleophora otidipennella
Ductus bursae gradually widens towards bursa copulatrix; signum medium
Ductus bursae gradually widens towards bursa copulatrix; signum medium
cii. Linear patch of scobinate sclerotisation around midway along ductus bursae > 37.073 Coleophora alticolella
Ostium large, tear-drop-shaped, its posterior margins obliquely extending towards posterior margin of ostial plate, its anteror margin bulging anterior to the anterior margin of the ostial plate; signum fairly large

ciii. Irregularly-shaped, short patch of scobinate sclerotisation around midway along ductus bursae > 37.078 Coleophora maritimella
Sparse course spicules surrounding the bilinear dense spiculation of posterior ductus bursae; ostium medium-sized, dome-shaped; signum large
Sparse course spicules surrounding the bilinear dense spiculation of posterior ductus bursae; ostium medium-sized, dome-shaped; signum large
d. Ostial plate elongate > 37.003 Coleophora limoniella
Short section of large spicules in posterior ductus bursae; ostium posterior; introitus sclerotised and tapering; signum fairly large The "dense spiculation" is not as striking in this species as it is in other species in B5 In all remaining species in B5 there a short section of bulging bilinear dense spiculation of posterior ductus bursae
|
e. Ostial plate quadrate > 37.044 Coleophora discordella
Ostium central from a deep wide incision in posterior margin; introitus sclerotised; signum large In the four remaining species in B5 the ostial plate is very transverse
|
f. Sparse circumferential spiculation anterior to densely spiculate section
Ostium anterior, from a ventrally produced pouch; medial part of posterior margin and notch in posterior margin lined by spines; introitus vaginae sclerotised; signum fairly large
Ostium anterior, from a ventrally produced pouch; medial part of posterior margin and notch in posterior margin lined by spines; introitus vaginae sclerotised; signum fairly large
fi. Spines on posterior margin and notch short and stout; anterior apophyses about as long as ostial plate > 37.029 Coleophora orbitella
fii. Spines on posterior margin and notch long and fine; anterior apophyses longer than ostial plate > 37.030 Coleophora binderella
|
g. Introitus vaginae sclerotised, narrow and directed to right; signum fairly small
> 37.028 Coleophora juncicolella Ostium central, occupying whole length of ostial plate, from a wide incision in posterior margin; h. Introitus not sclerotised; signum fairly large
> 37.020 Coleophora fuscocuprella Ostium central |
