Odites prosedra is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo (Katanga).[1][2]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are pale brownish-ochreous with the stigmata dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, the second discal rather large. There is a series of dark fuscous dots from beneath three-fifths of the costa very obliquely outwards, obtusely angulated opposite the apex, and running to near the dorsum at four-fifths. A series of small dark fuscous dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, hardly greyish-tinged posteriorly.[3]
