Dragmatucha proaula is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa (Limpopo) and Zimbabwe.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous with a small irregular pale ochreous-yellow spot at the base and two irregular whitish-ochreous transverse fasciae, dilated towards the costa and becoming deep ochreous yellow on the costal edge, at about two-fifths and four-fifths.
