Mimachrostia parafasciata is a moth of the Micronoctuidae family. It is known from Chekiang and Kiangsu in eastern China.
Adults have been found in May and June, but probably occur in several generations.
The wingspan is 13.5-14 mm. The forewing is relatively narrow and light brown, with an often indistinct, narrow, beige reniform stigma. The antemedian and postmedian lines are well marked, waved and widened from the costa to the ventral margin. The subterminal line is weakly marked. The terminal line is marked by black interveinal spots. The hindwing is greyish brown with an indistinct discal spot.
