Syngelechia is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Syngelechia psimythota, which is found in South Africa.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white with a black dot almost at the base of the fold. There is a narrow oblique irregular dark fuscous fascia towards the base, extended along the costa to the base, the anterior edge suffused. There is a semi-oval dark fuscous spot on the costa towards the middle and there is a narrower semi-oval dark fuscous spot on the costa about two-thirds. The second discal stigma is transverse-linear, dark fuscous. A tornal patch of dark fuscous suffusion is found beneath this where a suffused dark fuscous streak runs along the termen to the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[3]
