Overview

Caryocolum cauligenella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe, except Ireland, Great Britain, Norway and most of the Balkan Peninsula.

Caryocolum cauligenella faces significant population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its specialized coastal environments. Climate change and sea level rise pose additional threats to its narrow habitat requirements along European coastlines.
