Syncopacma cincticulella is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Bruand in 1851. It is found in Asia Minor and southern and south-eastern Europe, where it has been recorded from Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Ukraine and Russia.[1][2]

The wingspan is 9-12 mm.[3]

The larvae feed on Astragalus glycyphyllos, Coronilla varia, Cytisus scoparius, Dorycnium species, Genista germanica, Genista tinctoria and Ornithopus species. Young larvae make a full-depth broad corridor with irregular lateral expansions, mostly radiating from the midrib of the leaflet. Older larvae also mine, but from a spinning which is used to connect leaves to either each other or the leaf axis. The larvae are dirty yellowish-white with six reddish length lines.[4]
