Pseudopostega contigua is a moth of the Opostegidae family. It was described by Donald R. Davis and Jonas R. Stonis, 2007.[1] It is known from riparian forest along the Rio Negro of southern Venezuela.
The length of the forewings is about 2 mm. Adults have been recorded in December.
The species name is derived from the Latin contiguus (meaning near, adjacent) in reference to the paired, contiguous, apical lobes of the male gnathos.
