Syncopacma taeniolella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in most of Europe.

A sprig of *Trifolium micranthum* with leaves united by larva

The wingspan is 10–13 mm.^[2] The forewings are bronzy-black, somewhat lighter basally; a nearly straight narrow white fascia beyond middle. Hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly. Under-surface with white fascia distinct across forewings and forming a costal spot on hindwings. The larva is pale ochreous-yellowish; 3-12 with broad dull red transverse bands, on 3 and 4 somewhat interrupted; head yellow-brown; plate of 2 yellow-brown, posteriorly blackish-marked ^[3]

Adults are on wing in July.

The larvae feed on Lotus corniculatus, Lotus uliginosus, Medicago and Trifolium species. They initially mine the leaves of their host plant.^[4] Larvae can be found in May and June.^[5]
