Oreta paki is a moth in the family Drepanidae. It was described by Hiroshi Inoue in 1964.[1] It is found in Korea,[2] China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning) and the Russian Far East.[3]

The length of the forewings is 17.5–21 mm. There are two forms, a yellow-and-brown and a brown form. Adults are similar to Oreta turpis, but can be distinguished by the presence of one or two dark spots near the anal angle of the forewings and the poorly marked antemedial and postmedial fasciae on the hindwings.[4]
