Pigritia fidella is a species of concealer moth in the family Stathmopodidae, a group characterized by larvae that construct distinctive portable cases from silk and plant material. The genus Pigritia contains small moths whose biology remains poorly documented. The specific epithet and taxonomic placement suggest affinities with other Pigritia species, though detailed studies are limited. Adults are rarely encountered in field collections.
