Proselotis ischnoptila is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish irrorated with pale-fuscous, with an elongate blackish subcostal dot near the base, and another at one-fourth. There are blackish dots in the disc on the fold at one-third, a second before the middle, and a third at two-thirds above the tornus. The wing beyond the third dot is more fuscous. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
