Omiodes giffardi is endemic to the Hawaiian Island of Hawai‘i (Zimmerman 1958). The type locality is Kilauea (Zimmerman 1958). There are some specimens labelled as O. giffardi from Kaua‘i at the Bishop Museum, but it is unclear if these were correctly identified (Haines 2011). It is also unclear whether this species has been collected recently. Light trapping surveys in the Volcano area of Hawai‘i Island, where the presumed host plant for this species is relatively common, documented individuals that could be this species (W. Haines pers. obs.). The species description for O. giffardi is vague and based on few characters, making it difficult to identify.
