Schistonoea is a genus of moth in the family Schistonoeidae. It contains the species Schistonoea fulvidella, which is found in the West Indies.

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish ochreous, variable in the colour and quantity of their shading. Some have a tawny-reddish suffusion extending from the base nearly to the termen, around which is a row of six elongate fuscous spots, the pale ground-colour appearing also in a narrow streak along the base of the fold and in a streak along the discal cell, in which are two fuscous blotches, the larger before, the smaller one beyond the middle. In other specimens, the dorsal half of the wing is almost entirely whitish ochreous, the reddish suffusion being confined to the costal and apical portions. The hindwings are pale greyish.
