Prochoreutis inflatella, the skullcap skeletonizer moth, is a moth of the family Choreutidae. It is found in eastern North America.
Adults are on wing from June to September. There are several generations per year.
The larvae feed on Scutellaria species, including Scutellaria lateriflora. The first larvae appear in March, only shortly after the host plant begins growth. Pupation occurs in a fusiform, multi-layered cocoon of white silk.
