Nye & Fletcher (1991) included COLEOPHORA in the family COLEOPHORIDAE.
Hodges, in Kristensen (1999) included COLEOPHORA in the subfamily COLEOPHORINAE.

The type-species was included by Hübner as * Anatipenella, an incorrect (of a multiple) original spelling.
Unavailable designation of type-species: Phalaena hemerobiella Scopoli, 1763, was designated by Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 52, who attributed the authorship of Coleophora to Zeller, 1839. P. hemerobiella was not originally included in Coleophora by Hübner.
