Oreta eminens is a species of moth of the family Drepanidae first described by Felix Bryk in 1943. 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]
