Filatima vaccinii is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and New Jersey.[1][2]
The wingspan is 16-18 mm. The forewings are grey, each scale tipped with fuscous and with four small fuscous spots on the fold and in the cell. There is an ill-defined narrow, outwardly convex transverse fascia at the apical fourth, from the costa to the tornus. The hindwings are fuscous with a brassy hue, darker apically than basally.
The larvae feed on Vaccinium vacillans.[3]
