Oreta shania is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Watson in 1967.[1] It is found in China (Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan).[2]

The length of the forewings is 15-20.5 mm for males and about 19.5 mm for females. There are pale yellow areas, darker reddish brown medial or marginal areas and both wings have two white cell-spots and black or dark brown spots on the costa and at the anal angle. Both wings, but especially the hindwings, are lightly speckled with black or dark brown.[3]
