Proleucinodes lucealis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by C. Felder, R. Felder and Rogenhofer in 1875.[1] It is found in French Guiana and Brazil.[2]

The wingspan is 22–25 mm. The forewings have a brownish area bordering an excavation between the apex and vein 4, with the border continuous to the hind margin. There is a rather large brown patch next to it, separated by a narrow white line. The area extending from vein 5 to the hind margin has a short, dark fuscous line between it and the median patch on the hind margin and there is a small blackish or dark fuscous patch or spots on the outer margin in lower half of the excavation. The hindwings have a cinnamon-brown outer band extending from the apex to vein 3.[3]
