Stenoma consociella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Surinam, Guatemala, Panama and Brazil (Amazonas).[1]
The wingspan is about 20-21 mm. The forewings are stone-whitish, with a very pale fawn-brownish suffused shade. A fuscous shade on the cell at one-fourth, with a smaller one on the fold, below and a little beyond it, is succeeded by another at the end of the cell, beyond which is a curved series of very indistinct fawn-brownish shade-streaks at the base of the diverging veins. Beyond these is a series of dots of the same colour, commencing with three from the costa, forming an angle below it a little darker than the remainder, which, curving outward opposite to the middle of the termen, revert to the dorsum before the tornus. A further series of brownish fuscous dots, two costal and seven terminal, extends around the margin. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
