Filatima persicaeella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. 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.
