Procometis diplocentra is a moth of the Autostichidae family that is found in Queensland,[1] the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Victoria.[2]

The wingspan is 19-20 mm. The forewings are ashy-whitish, densely irrorated with dark fuscous, and with scattered black scales. There are two cruciform small dark fuscous spots, transversely placed and confluent, in the disc before the middle, and a third, somewhat larger, in the disc at two-thirds. There is a series of short obscure darker marks before the hindmargin. The hindwings are fuscous-grey.[3]
