Caryocolum repentis is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Spain , France , Germany , Austria, Switzerland , Italy, Slovenia[1] and Russia (the southern Ural).[2]
The length of the forewings is 5–5.5 mm (0.20–0.22 in) for males and 4.5–5 mm (0.18–0.20 in) for females.[3]
The larvae feed on Gypsophila repens. Young larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a blotch occupying the leaf from the base to the tip. The frass is ejected through the entrance opening. Older larvae live free between a number of young leaves that are held together by a spinning. Larvae can be found from May to late June.[4] They have a yellowish green body and a black head.
