Procometis melanthes is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are blackish-fuscous irrorated with whitish scales. The absence of these leaves the following markings: a short longitudinal line from the base, an indistinctly double spot in the disc before the middle, placed obliquely, a closely similar spot in the disc beyond the middle, a blackish area at the apex sharply bounded internally, sharply bent inwards in the disc to form a sharp process, then outwardly curved to the anal angle. The hindwings are fuscous, paler towards the base.[2]
