Syncopacma crotolariella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by August Busck in 1900. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Florida. [1] [2]

The wingspan is 8.2-8.8 mm. The forewings are bluish black, with sparse lighter blue metallic scales intermixed, especially toward the apex. The hindwings are gray with purple reflections.

The larvae feed on Crotalaria pumilla . Young larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. Later instars tie the leaves together. The larvae have a yellowish white body and head and reach a length of about 6 mm when full-grown. Pupation takes place in a slight web among the leaves. [3]
