"Oreta" miltodes is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Lower in 1903. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland. The Global Lepidoptera Names Index has this name as a synonym of Oreta jaspidea . [1]

The wingspan is about 34 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous-fuscous, strongly suffused with carmine-pink, especially on the terminal area, where it becomes wholly carmine-pink. There is a fuscous moderately broad antemedian shade, followed by a similar shade in the middle and there is a nearly straight rather narrower shade from the costa at three-fourths to the inner margin at about three-fourths. The hindwings have the same colour as the forewings and a subterminal streak as in the forewings. The costa is broadly grey-whitish. [2]
