Oreta eminens is a species of moth of the Drepanidae family. It is found in Myanmar, China[1] (Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan), Korea and Japan.[2]

The length of the forewings is 19–22 mm. It is easily distinguished from its close relatives Oreta sanguinea and Oreta liensis, by the mottled yellow and brown colour-pattern, the more elongate forewing apex and by the presence of a dark patch at the anal angle of the hindwings.[3]
