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.
