Odites sphenidias is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in India (Assam).[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with a black dot on the base of the costa, one at the base in the middle, one towards the costa at one-fifth, and one beneath the fold below this. The stigmata are black, the first discal large, the subtriangular plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a small triangular blackish spot on the middle of the costa and a strongly curved series of rather large cloudy blackish dots from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the termen, interrupted towards the dorsum. A series of blackish dots is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen, two on the costa about four-fifths enlarged and suffused beneath with fuscous. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.[2]
