Semnocera procellaris is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from South Africa.[2]
The larvae feed on Ekebergia species. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a large, irregular, very oblong, transparent blotch-mine, beginning at or near the margin of the leaf as a wide gallery which soon widens into a blotch.
