Biology Falkovitsh (1988) recorded the Lycium sp. and Lycium kopetdaghi Pojark as host plants in Turkmenistan . In China C. mosasaurus feeds on wild Lycium barbarum Linnaeus. Remarks The genus Omphalopoda Falkovitch, 1987 was proposed as a synonym of Coleophora ( Vives Moreno, 1988 ) . Coleophora mosasaurus (Falkovitsh) is similar to Coleophora stegosaurus Falkovitsh by having the sacculus with a bifurcated apex, and the appendix of the outer sheath and the cornuti absent in the male genitalia, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the symmetrical bifurcation of the saccular apex, which is asymmetrical in C. stegosaurus . This species is recorded from China for the first time.
