Syncopacma karvoneni is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Hackman in 1950. It is found in Switzerland, Fennoscandia and northern Russia.
The wingspan is 11–13 mm.
The larvae feed on Vicia cracca, Trifolium pratense, Lathyrus pratensis, Lathyrus palustris and Melilotus alba. Young larvae mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a small full-depth gallery. Older larvae live between two or more spun leaves. Pupation takes place in the soil. The larvae have a pale reddish body with brown mottling, and a light brown head.
