Depressaria whitmani is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Clarke in 1941.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California, Arizona, Washington, Colorado and Montana.[2]
The wingspan is 18–22 mm. The forewings are blackish fuscous irrorated with drab and olive-buff scales. There are three short dashes at the basal third and the bases of veins nine to eleven, as well as a series of small spots at the ends of all the veins around the termen are black. There is an olive-buff spot at the end of the cell, preceded by a few black scales. The hindwings are light fuscous, but darker apically.[3]
