Appearance
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.
