Prosodarma is a genus of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Prosodarma fibularis, which is found in Indonesia (Java, Sulawesi).[1]

The wingspan is 12-14 mm for males and 15-19 mm for females. The forewings are rather dark purplish-fuscous with a narrow-transverse black blotch representing the plical and first discal stigmata, in two examples interrupted to form two spots. The second discal is represented by a brownish-ochreous transverse-oval spot with black dots at both ends. There is a slightly-curved whitish-ochreous transverse shade at five-sixths, more or less obscurely indicated, most strongly at the extremities, in females almost obsolete. The hindwings are grey.[2]
