Procometis milvina is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is 38–44 mm. The forewings are light greyish ochreous, with a faint pinkish tinge, the costal area slightly darker and the costal edge white except towards the extremities. The discal stigmata are minute, fuscous, placed on a very undefined median-longitudinal streak of whitish suffusion. The hindwings are pale greyish, suffused with whitish towards the base.[3]
