Syntrita prosalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Herbert Druce in 1895. It is found in Panama.[1]

The forewings and hindwings are yellowish white, the former with the base and inner margin spotted with yellowish brown, a large yellowish-brown patch extending across the wing near the apex and almost to the anal angle, on the outer edge of which is a pale waved line. The marginal line is spotted with black. The hindwings have several dark brown spots partly crossing the wing from the anal angle.[2]
