Izatha prasophyta is a moth of the Oecophoridae family. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is known from the North Island, except Hawkes Bay or the Wairarapa.[1]
The wingspan is 16–22.5 mm for males and 19.5–26 mm for females. Adults are on wing from November to February.
Larvae have been reared from an unidentified log on a beach, and another from a fruiting body of the bracket fungus Bjerkandera adusta growing on an unidentified rotting stump.
