Stenoma eusticta is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Brazil and the Guianas.[1]

The wingspan is 18โ€“19 mm. The forewings are lilac whitish with the costal edge ochreous yellow with about seven black dots, the extreme costal edge towards the base blackish and the basal third and a broad irregular purple fascia occupying most of the median third. A sinuate-curved dotted grey line is found from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus and there is a grey terminal line. The hindwings are whitish grey, with the terminal edge dark grey.[2]
