Stenolechia deltocausta is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It is found in India (Assam).[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous tinged or minutely striolated grey. The markings are black, margined white. There is a streak along the basal one-fifth of the costa and a dot above the fold at one-fourth, one obliquely beyond it towards the dorsum and a large triangular blotch extending on the costa from one-third to three-fifths, and reaching three-fourths across the wing. There is also a dot just above the tornus, and one in the disc above this. Some irregular blackish-grey suffusion is found towards the costa posteriorly and there is an acutely angulated white transverse line at three-fourth, two or three black scales preceding the angle, as well as a minute black apical dot. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
