Battaristis syngraphopa is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Brazil and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 9-10 mm. The forewings are light grey, posteriorly suffused darker grey or sometimes brownish-tinged and there is a transverse dark fuscous spot crossing the fold at one-fourth. A cloudy dark fuscous dot is found towards the costa at one-third. The stigmata are cloudy and dark fuscous, the discal approximated, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a very oblique white strigula from the middle of the costa, preceded by an elongate dark fuscous mark, a similar mark preceding the subterminal line and a fine white line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, obtusely angulated in the middle, the upper half straight, the lower slightly sinuate. There is also a small blackish suboval apical spot and a subapical dash, separated by a white dash, above and beneath these marginal spots of white suffusion. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
