Odites argyrophanes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1937. It is found in South Africa, where it has been recorded from KwaZulu-Natal.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are glossy fulvous-ochreous, with strong silvery iridescence. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There are undefined clouds of brownish suffusion above and below the second discal, and along the dorsum from one-fourth to two-thirds and a slender terminal streak of fuscous suffusion. The hindwings are pale silvery-grey.[3]
