Odites agraula is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in southern India.[1]

The wingspan is 19–22 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, the costal edge yellowish tinged and with a black dot beneath the costa near the base, and the base of the costa more or less suffused with dark fuscous. The discal stigmata are black, the first followed by a minute black dot obliquely above it, the second transversely double, the upper tending to form a short inwardly oblique mark. The plical stigma is indicated by a few blackish scales on the fold midway between the discal and there is a patch of fuscous suffusion on the costa in the middle, and another before the apex. Sometimes, there are indications of a fascia of fuscous irroration from the central costal patch to the tornus. There is also a terminal series of undefined dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.[2]
