"Oreta" miltodes is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1903. It is found in Australia , where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The Global Lepidoptera Names Index has this name as a synonym of Oreta jaspidea.[1]
The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous fuscous, strongly suffused with carmine pink, especially on the terminal area, where it becomes wholly carmine pink. There is a fuscous moderately broad antemedian shade, followed by a similar shade in the middle and there is a nearly straight rather narrower shade from the costa at three-fourths to the inner margin at about three-fourths. The hindwings have the same colour as the forewings and a subterminal streak as in the forewings. The costa is broadly grey whitish.[2]
