Five species of Coleophora feeding on seeds of Aster and Solidago in Ohio and Kentucky are here distinguished. All may be easily differentiated by definite characters of the male genitalia, and less easily by the female genitalia; differentiating characters of wing and antennal markings, although present, do not afford sure separation. The wings are brownish or grayish ocherous, with longitudinal white lines following veins, fold and dorsal margin, often confluent in the costal area, and more or less dusted with fuscous scales. Antennae may or may not be annulate, but the character is constant for the species.
