Postplatyptilia pusillus is a moth of the Pterophoridae family.

The type-specimens are all lost. Zeller stated in 1877: it is hardly possible to determine what species is involved by the description made. Gielis states in 2006: this is not correct, because the mentioning of die Fuehler sind am Grunde blass rosenroth, gives a good characteristic.[1]
