Frisilia procentra is a moth in the family Lecithoceridae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are greyish ochreous sprinkled with dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous dot above the subdorsal groove at one-fifth. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, the first moderate, the second cloudy, where a slightly curved, somewhat oblique fuscous shade runs to the dorsum. There is also a streak of fuscous suffusion along the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
