Syncopacma ochrofasciella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Toll in 1936. It is found in the Russian Far East, China (Jilin) and Europe, where it has been recorded from Germany, Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Latvia, Ukraine and Russia.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 11.5 mm.[3]

The larvae feed on Astragalus glycyphyllos. The larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. A single larva creates several irregular full-depth mines, living between two leaves spun together. The larvae are dirty yellowish-white, with six reddish length lines.[4]
