Oreta carnea is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Butler in 1892.[1] It is found in Malaysia, Singapore and on Sumatra, Java and Borneo.[2]
The wingspan is about 35 mm. Adults are sericeous pale brownish flesh-colour, sparsely irrorated with blackish atoms. The forewings are crossed by two very indistinct oblique darker lines and there is a submarginal series of rosy spots on the veins. The hindwings have two whitish stigmata on the discocellulars.[3]
The larvae feed on Uncaria species.
