Syncopacma zonariella explained

Syncopacma zonariella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1905. It is found in Algeria.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are black, sparsely sprinkled with pale ochreous scales, which are slightly grouped in the fold a little beyond its middle and on the disc above and beyond. At the outer third of the wing-length is a straight, clearly defined, pale ochreous fascia, its outer edge somewhat jagged. The hindwings are grey, with a brownish tinge.[2]
