Odites microbolista is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1937. It is found in Uganda.

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are brownish grey, with the costa narrowly suffused darker and with a black dot on the dorsum towards the base. There are two small adjacent black spots and some scattered black scales beneath the costa at three-fourths, three or four separate black dots indicating an excurved subterminal series beyond this. There is also a terminal series of minute black dots. The hindwings are light grey.

The larvae feed on Coffea species, rolling the leaves of their host plant.
