Caryocolum fibigerium is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece [1] and Morocco.

The length of the forewings is 4.5-5.5 mm for males and 4-5.5 mm for females. The forewings are blackish, mottled with dark brown. The dorsal margin is mid-brown, flecked with white. [2] Adults have been recorded on wing in late April at lower altitudes and from July to early October in mountainous areas.

The larvae feed on Arenaria montana . Young larvae probably mine the leaves of their host plant, making a short linear mine. Older larvae live between two spun leaves. Larvae can be found from November to mid-December. [3]
