Filatima persicaeella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Michigan and Maine.[1][2]
There is a small white spot on the fold of the forewing about the middle, another opposite to it on the disc. Behind the space between these two is another minute yellowish white spot. There are also small opposite costal and dorsal spots at the beginning of the cilia.[3]
The larvae feed on Prunus persica.
