Odites sphaerophyes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Diakonoff in 1966. It is found on Sulawesi.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are creamy-yellowish, pale, the veins somewhat darker ochreous, the dorsum slightly suffused with deeper yellowish and ochreous. The second discal stigma is strongly suffused, ochreous-tawny. There is a faint tawny suffusion on one-third of the dorsum, another, smaller, on the dorsum before the end of the fold. The hindwings are pale whitish-yellowish with a silky gloss.[2]
