Osmarina argilla is a moth in the Depressariidae family, and the only species in the genus Osmarina. It was described by Clarke in 1978 and is found in Chile.

The wingspan is 17–19 mm. The forewings are clay color 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 greyish.
