Orpecovalva obliterata is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Walsingham[ who? ] in 1905. It is found in Algeria and Libya. [1]

The wingspan is 11–13 mm. The forewings are hoary greyish white, profusely speckled with greyish fuscous throughout, this is for the most part evenly distributed, but a line along the centre of the wing appears to be somewhat less obscured by the dark speckling, while a reduplicated transverse spot at the end of the cell is slightly indicated, a plical and another discal spot scarcely to be detected, their possible position being shown only by a slight increase of the dark dusting in each place. The hindwings are bronzy grey. [2]
