Stenoglene citrinus is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Druce in 1886.[1] It is found in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (Equateur, East Kasai), Gabon and Nigeria.[2]

The forewings are pale yellow, crossed about the middle, from the costal to the inner margin, by a band of very small brown spots, beyond which is a second band, extending from the apex to the inner margin. The second band is very much wider, and near the inner margin it has several whitish spots. There is also a submarginal row of minute dots extending from the apex to the anal angle. The hindwings are pale yellow, with a central and submarginal row of small brown spots.[3]
