Aproparia is a genus of moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It contains the species Aproparia pselaphistis, which is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is 14-18 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, more or less infuscated posteriorly. The stigmata are small, cloudy and fuscous, the plical rather beyond the first discal, an additional dot beneath the second discal. There is a faint curved fine ochreous-whitish line from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, more strongly marked towards the costa. The hindwings are grey, more or less tinged with whitish-ochreous.[2]
