Osmarina is a monotypic moth genus in the family Depressariidae. Its only species, Osmarina argilla, is found in Chile. Both the genus and species were described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1978.[1]
The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are clay colored 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 grayish.[2]
