Dragmatucha proaula is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa (Limpopo) and Zimbabwe.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are dark purplish-fuscous with a small irregular pale ochreous-yellow spot at the base and two irregular whitish-ochreous transverse fasciae, dilated towards the costa and becoming deep ochreous-yellow on the costal edge, at about two-fifths and four-fifths. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
