Eucosmophora prolata is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from Venezuela.[1]
The length of the forewings is 3.7 mm for females.[2]
The larvae probably feed on a Sapotaceae species and probably mine the leaves of their host plant.
Etymology[]
The specific epithet is derived from the Latin prolatus (meaning extended, elongated), in reference to the unusually long antenna of this species.
