Odites ricini is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Henry Tibbats Stainton in 1859. It is found in India.[1]
The forewings are pale sulphur yellow, with the costa narrowly orange from before the middle to the apex. On the inner margin near the base is a faint pale grey cloud, and on the disc beyond the middle is a very indistinct grey dot. A row of grey dots runs along the hind margin. The hindwings are whitish.
The larvae feed on Ricinus communis, rolling up the edge of a leaf. They are green with a black head.[2]
