Pseudopostega fumida is a moth of the Opostegidae family. It is only known from secondary, tropical forest in central Belize.

The length of the forewings is about 2.1 mm. Adults are glossy gray with a largely white head. Adults have been collected in April.

Etymology

The specific name is derived from the Latin fumida (smoked-colored, darkened), as suggested by the unusual dark color of the moth.
