Prophalangopsis is a South Asian insect genus, in the family Prophalangopsidae, distantly related to crickets and other Ensifera, erected by Francis Walker in 1869.

[1] There is one species: Prophalangopsis obscura, which is a winged insect species found in North India and the Tibetan Plateau.

F. Walker described it in 1869 from a single male specimen from India.

[a][1] Liu et al collected two possible female specimens in 2009.

[3][4] In 2022, researchers attempted to recreate the call that P. obscura would make with its legs by using 3D scanning, microscopy, and a Laser Doppler vibrometer.
