Orthaga olivacea is a species of snout moth in the genus Orthaga. It was described by Warren in 1891. It is found in China, Japan, Taiwan and the Russian Far East.
The larvae are a pest on camphor trees. They prefer trees between five and ten years old and damage the leaves by aggregative feeding within nests formed by infested leaves. There are two generations per year in Jiaxing.[2]
