Stenoma psalmographa is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white mixed light grey, appearing whitish-grey. The basal third of the costa is light yellowish-grey, the rest of the costal edge white with six small dark fuscous marks. There are two fine distinct transverse fuscous lines, the first at one-third, straight and direct, the second from two-thirds of the costa very obliquely outwards, above the middle right-angled and running to the dorsum before the tornus. Six or seven irregular fuscous dots or marks are found in the disc between these and there is a fine interrupted fuscous terminal line. The hindwings are pale grey, darker-suffused towards the apex and with a suffused grey spot on each end of the cell.[2]
