The oreta subvinosa moths were first described in 1903 in New Guinea, and have a 36mm wingspan, with pale yellow forewings, and brown, red, and yellow markings on its body.
Oreta subvinosa is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by William Warren in 1903. The wingspan is about 36 mm. The forewings are pale yellow with a faint greenish tinge. The first line is dull reddish brown and the outer line is deep chestnut brown, originating at a dark costal spot close before the apex and joined on vein 6 by a short curved brown mark from the costa. The yellow basal and marginal areas are freckled with brownish, the latter with a dull reddish cloud along the margin, becoming deeper reddish towards the apex. The hindwings have an antemedian red-brown fascia, the inner edge marked by a thick chestnut shade, continuing the outer line of the forewings.
