Stegasta jejuensis is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Park and Omelko in 1994. It is found in the Russian Far East, Korea and Japan.[1]

The wingspan is 9–10 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with three white or yellowish-white spots at one-fourth, halfway and three-fourths on the costal margin. The first widely extended to the well-developed yellowish-white basal fascia expanding to a whitish-orange fascia, which runs along the dorsum to near the tornus, the upper corner of this may reach two small yellowish-white spots near the end of the cell. The second smallest, yellowish-white, often accompanied by few white scales posteriorly and the third large, quadrate, more distinctly white than others. There is a black small spot developed near two-thirds of the cell, surrounded broadly by greyish-silvery scales. The hindwings are grey.[2]
