Prodoxoides asymmetra is a moth of the Prodoxidae family. It is found in the Valdivian temperate rain forest and humid Nothofagus-Chusqua forest along the border of Chile ( Osorno Province) and Argentina ( Río Negro Province). It is the only known Prodoxidae species in the Southern Hemisphere.

The wingspan is 9–13 mm. The forewings have different shades of pale to medium brown with a golden lustre.
