Odontivalvia is a genus of moths of the family Crambidae. It contains only one species, Odontivalvia radialis, which is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Texas.[2]

Larvae have been recorded feeding on Leucophyllum minus.[3] They create silken tunnels covered with frass, attached to the branches of the host plant.[4]
