'''''Prosomphax''''' is a very small genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). As of 2005, only four species had been described; all are found in the southern half of Africa. This little-studied genus belongs to the emerald moth subfamily (Geometrinae), but beyond that its relationships are still rather obscure.<ref>Pitkin & Jenkins (2004), Krüger (2005)</ref>
