Phelotropa oenodes is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Guyana.[1]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are fuscous purple with the costal edge pale ochreous from one-fourth to the middle, dark fuscous before and beyond this. The basal area is suffusedly mixed with dark fuscous and a strongly dentate oblique dark fuscous shade crossing the wing about one-third, and an irregular curved shade from three-fifths of the costa to the tornus. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous with a series of small dark fuscous spots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
