Parapsectris carinata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found in South Africa (Limpopo, Gauteng).[1][2]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are whitish, densely irrorated with dark fuscous. The stigmata are black, the first discal rather elongate, well-marked, the plical rather before the first discal, forming the extremity of a blackish streak along the fold from the base, the second discal represented by two or three scales. There are some undefined blackish dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[3]
