Prorella desperata is a moth in the family Geometridae first described by George Duryea Hulst in 1896. It is found in the US states of Arizona and Texas.

The wingspan is about 17–19 mm.[3] There is a strongly oblique, dark, antemedian band on the forewings, as well as a rectangular, preapical, costal patch and small blotches on the terminal area opposite the cell and above the tornus.[4] Adults have been recorded on wing in August and September.
