Bagdadia paroctas is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. [1] It is found in China (Zhejiang), Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India's Andaman Islands and Java, Indonesia. [2]

The wingspan is 13–14 mm. The forewings are grey, irrorated (sprinkled) with whitish and with a series of small ochreous-brown spots mixed with black along the costa, one before the middle rather larger. There is an ochreous-brown spot beneath the costa near the base, and some blackish irroration towards the base. A transverse series of three blackish marks is found at one-fifth, and another at one-fourth. An irregularly 8-shaped mark outlined with blackish is found in the disc at one-third, and another at two-thirds. There are some small ochreous-brownish spots between these, and a larger one in the disc beyond the second, as well as a blackish spot on the dorsum beneath the first, touching it. There is an ochreous-brown streak just before the termen, touching a terminal series of small blackish spots. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline (almost glass like) anteriorly, with the veins and termen dark fuscous. [3]
