Odites analogica is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1917. It is found on the Comoros (Anjouan) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Katanga, North Kivu).[1][2]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous. The stigmata are blackish, the plical midway between the first and second discal. There is an acutely angulated series of indistinct small linear blackish dots from three-fifths of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, as well as an almost marginal series of blackish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey.[3]

The larvae feed on Coffea species.
