Lanceopenna prominula is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1913. It is found in South Africa (Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Limpopo).[1][2]
The wingspan is 8-9 mm. The forewings are light ochreous-brown, with a few scattered black scales and a streak of blackish suffusion along the costa throughout, becoming very slender towards the base, in the middle forming a triangular prominence. The plical and second discal stigmata are small and black and there are some black dots along the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
