Caryocolum srnkai is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in Montenegro. [1]
Caryocolum srnkai is a small moth (with the wingspan of 11-14 mm) with black forewings mottled with white, featuring prominent white costal and tornal spots. The labial palps are blackish brown mottled with cream-white. It is very similar to C. amaurella and some C. petryi , but can be distinguished by its male genitalia, which have a valva with a distinctly larger dorsal hump than ventral hump, a small sacculus, and a slender phallus.
Endemic to Montenegro, this species is known from only three individuals collected in Durmitor National Park. [2]
