Stenoma homala

Stenoma homala is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Tabasco, Mexico.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are bone grey, with dark brown marginal spots, one near the base of the costa, one scarcely beyond its middle, one a little beyond the flexus and another more elongate on the middle of the dorsum. A small spot at the end of the cell another in the fold and a series around the apex and termen are less strongly indicated. In conjunction with the first dorsal spot are a few projecting ochreous marginal scales. The hindwings are brownish grey.[2]
