Parochromolopis syncrata is a moth in the family Epermeniidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Brazil [1] and Peru.

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are pale brownish ochreous, more or less suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with dark grey, and the apical three-fifths irregularly suffused with dark brown. There are spots of blackish irroration in the disc beyond the middle and at two-fifths, as well as a small blackish apical spot, edged anteriorly with whitish suffusion. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
