Pronomeuta sarcopis is a moth in the family Zygaenidae.[1][2] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1905 from Sri Lanka.
The wingspan is 15–18 mm. The forewings are light fuscous or fuscous-ochreous, irregularly strewn with small dark fuscous dots. The discal stigmata are rather large and dark fuscous. The hindwings are dull fuscous-reddish.[3]
The larvae are known to attack Hydnocarpus wightianus.[4]
