Stenoma phalacropa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Panama.^[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are brown with a faint pinkish tinge and with an oblique irregular dark brown mark beneath costa at one-fourth. The discal stigmata are dark brown with some dark brown suffusion towards the anterior half of the dorsum and a narrow elongate semi-oval dark brown spot along the costa in the middle. A marginal series of dark fuscous dots is found around the apex and termen, preceded by small pale ochreous spots except on the tornal area, and then by some dark brown suffusion on the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.^[2]
