Coleophora tshogoni is a moth of the Coleophoridae family. It is found in Turkestan and Uzbekistan.

The larvae feed on Halothamnus subaphyllus and rarely on Halothamnus glaucus. They create a leafy case, consisting of three obliquely imbricate (overlapping) pieces, the margins of which may more or less protrude downward. The initial case has the form of a slender tube and is located on the upper side at the caudal end. The valve is poorly developed. The length of the case is 6-7.5 mm and the color is chocolate-brown to yellow. Larvae can be found from May to the beginning of October. There are up to three generations per year. Fully fed larvae hibernate.[1]
