Odites pragmatias is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1914. It is found in southern India.[1]
The wingspan is 17–18 mm. The forewings are whitish, sometimes partially suffused with very pale greyish ochreous, with irregularly scattered blackish scales and with a blackish transverse mark on the base of the costa, and a short suffused blackish streak along the base of the dorsum. The stigmata are black, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a curved series of four large blackish dots in the disc at five-sixths, and one on the dorsum below the second discal. There is also a series of blackish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale greyish ochreous.[2]
