Taxonomic Notes: Coleophora cratipennella Clemens, 1864 includes as a synonym Coleophora tamesis of authors not Waters, 1929. Tamesis, a strictly palaearctic species incorrectly synonymized with 1365 Coleophora cratipennella Clemens, 1864 by Wright in Hodges et al. (1883), is returned to full species status in Baldizzone & Landry (1993) but was subsequently added to the Checklist in error and is now removed (extralimital to North America).
