Stenoma surinamella is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in the Guianas and Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 26-31 mm for males and about 38 mm for females. The forewings are whitish-ochreous with the extreme costal edge whitish. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the first discal indistinct, the plical obliquely beyond it. There is a faintly indicated irregularly curved fuscous shade from the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum and a curved series of cloudy fuscous lunulate dots from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, sinuate inwards beneath the costa. A marginal series of small dark fuscous dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-yellowish, in females faintly greyish-tinged on the basal half.[2]
