Procometis genialis is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 19–20 mm. The forewings are ashy white, densely irrorated (sprinkled) with blackish and with the markings obscure, fuscous, irrorated with black. There is a short longitudinal dash in the disc at about the middle, a longitudinal streak above the inner margin from one-third to the anal angle, interrupted in the middle of the wing, and a less marked streak along the inner margin and hindmargin from the base to the apex. A small cloudy roundish ochreous spot is found in the disc at four-fifths. The hindwings are yellow ochreous, somewhat fuscous tinged, especially posteriorly.[2]
