Odites siccinervis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Uganda.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, the veins obscurely brownish. The discal stigmata are moderate and dark fuscous, the plical indicated in one wing by a speck obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a marginal series of blackish dots around the apical third of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Coffea species.[3]
