Oreta carnea is a moth in the Drepanidae family. It was described by Butler in 1892. It is found in Malaysia, Singapore and on Sumatra, Java and Borneo. The wingspan is about 35 mm. Adults are sericeous pale brownish flesh-colour, sparsely irrorated with blackish atoms. The forewings are crossed by two very indistinct oblique darker lines and there is a submarginal series of rosy spots on the veins. The hindwings have two whitish stigmata on the discocellulars. The larvae feed on Uncaria species.
