Orophia is a moth genus of the superfamily Gelechioidea.

Taxonomy

The systematic placement is problematic. It was often placed in tribe Orophiini of subfamily Oecophorinae, sometimes it was placed in the tribe Cryptolechiini and/or assigned to subfamily Depressariinae, which was alternatively treated as a subfamily of the Elachistidae, but today an independent family of Gelechioidea.
