Pragmatodes fruticosella is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found on the Canary Islands.

The wingspan is 6.5–7.5 mm. The forewings are dirty stone-whitish, dusted with fuscous. The hindwings are grey. [2] Adults have been recorded on wing from January to March and in May.

The larvae feed on Rubia fruticosa and Plocama pendula . They mine the leaves of their host plant. On Plocama, the mine has the form of a full-depth, transparent brown blotch with a dense clump of frass, located in the lower part of the mine. The mine on Rubia starts as a corridor filled with frass, later widening to a glassy full-depth blotch with dispersed frass. Full-grown larvae are about 3.5 mm long with a yellowish brown to reddish body and black head capsule. [3]
