Stenoma ptychophthalma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Bolivia.[1]
The wingspan is about 37 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous or light fuscous, faintly pinkish-tinged and the extreme costal edge grey-whitish. There is a large black dot near the base in the middle and the plical stigma forms a conspicuous round black spot, the discal stigmata indicated by faint paler dots, the first obliquely before the plical. There is a faint paler macular shade preceding an excurved series of small lunulate blackish dots from the costa at four-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus, sinuate inwards towards the costa. There is also a terminal series of small blackish dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous.[2]
