Procometis spoliatrix is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in southern India.[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm for males and 18 mm for females. The forewings are yellow ochreous with a small black dot on the base of the costa. The stigmata are black, the discal moderate, the plical minute, beneath the first discal. There is a curved pre-marginal series of minute indistinct fuscous dots. The hindwings in males are whitish ochreous tinged with grey, while they are light grey in females.
The larvae were observed forming a gallery in the nest of a social spider, presumably feeding on insect refuse in the web.[2]
