Metriotes lutarea is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in most of Europe (except the Iberian Peninsula and most of the Balkan Peninsula) and Turkey.[2]
The wingspan is 9–11 mm (0.35–0.43 in). Adults are on wing in May and are day-active.[3]
The larvae feed on the seeds of greater stitchwort (Stellaria holostea) and Thesium montanum.[4] At the end of the larval stage it constructs a portable case from a seed capsule and pupation takes place in the bark of a tree.
