+title: Pattern synonym arity mismatch
+summary: The number of arguments in the signature of a pattern synonym is fewer than the number of arguments in its equation.
+severity: error
+introduced: 9.8.1
+---
+
+Just as a function definition cannot specify fewer arguments than its signature,
+a pattern synonym's definition cannot specify fewer arguments than its signature.
+Specifying more arguments in the signature than in the definition is OK though,
+because it would just mean that the last parameter to the synonym is a function.

+## Error Message
+
+```
+InsufficientArgumentsInSignature:6:1: error: [GHC-18365]
+    • Pattern synonym ‘P’ has two arguments
+        but its type signature has 1 fewer arrows
+    • In the declaration for pattern synonym ‘P’
+  |
+6 | pattern P a b = (a, b)
+  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+```
+
+## Explanation
+
+In this case, the equation in the definition specified two arguments, but the
+signature specified only one.
