Osmarina argilla is a moth in the Depressariidae family, and the only species in the genus Osmarina. It was described by Clarke in 1978 and is found in Chile.[1]
The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are clay color overlaid with brown scales and with a fuscous dot at the basal third, in the cell and followed at the end of the cell by a pair of similarly colored spots. In the fold is a similar small spot. The costa is narrowly pale buff and between the outer pair of the discal spots and termen, is a pale clay-colored, irregular, transverse line. Along the termen is a narrow broken fuscous line. The hindwings are greyish.[2]
