Pauroneura is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Pauroneura brachysticha, which is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. [1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish, unevenly suffused with brownish fuscous and with a moderate dark basal patch, short on the costa, longer on the dorsum. There is a dark costal mark at one-third and a large dorsal blotch confluent with a terminal suffusion. A short outwardly oblique whitish streak is found from two-thirds of the costa, narrowly edged with dark-fuscous, followed by three whitish dots similarly edged. There is a suffused silvery-white transverse mark from the termen beyond the tornus not reaching the costa, cutting across two whitish dark-centred longitudinal streaks from three-fourths to the termen. There is also an elongate whitish apical dot, with a large dark-fuscous spot beneath it. The hindwings are fuscous, with the base of the costa white. [2]
