Meyrick, 1918

Stenoma cymbalista is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish, very faintly violet-tinged and with the extreme costal edge white. The markings are dark grey. The first discal stigma forms a large round spot, others are dot-like, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal and there is a triangular spot on the middle of the costa, where a strongly excurved shade of irroration runs to a cloudy patch on the middle of the dorsum. There is also a large triangular spot on the costa at four-fifths, where a curved series of dots runs to the dorsum before the tornus. A marginal series of ten elongate dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, with the apical edge greyish-tinged.[2]
