Battaristis synocha is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1922. It is found in Peru.[1]
The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The forewings are light greyish ochreous, paler towards the costa anteriorly and the costal edge anteriorly blackish. There is an irregular thick upcurved blackish-fuscous streak from towards the dorsum before the middle to the disc at two-thirds and a very oblique blackish strigula from the costa at one-third. A thick bronze-brown streak, irregularly suffused with black, is found towards the costa from near beyond this to the apex, anteriorly acute, cut by a very oblique fine white line from the middle of the costa, and one less oblique from three-fourths, making a very acute angular projection in the middle and continued to the dorsum before the tornus, both halves sinuate inwards, the projection enclosing a very fine black dash. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
