Plegapteryx prouti is a moth in the family Geometridae. It was described by George Thomas Bethune-Baker in 1927.[1] It is found in Cameroon.[2]
The wingspan is about 34 mm. Both wings are cinnamon brown, irrorated with fine dark points, which are more prominent in the somewhat paler hindwings. The forewings have a trace of an oblique stripe from the apex to the middle of the inner margin and the radial area has a small dark cloud and is slightly tinged with greenish.[3]
