Stenoma staudingerana is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in the Colombia, French Guiana and Brazil (Para).[1]

The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are light brownish with the extreme costal edge pale ochreous-yellowish and with a straight dark brown line from one-fifth of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, anteriorly edged with yellow-ochreous suffusion. There is a faint small fuscous spot on the middle of the costa and there are two dark fuscous dots transversely placed on the end of the cell. A faint slender slightly curved transverse fuscous line is found at four-fifths and there is a terminal series of small indistinct dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are pale ochreous-yellowish, on the dorsal half hardly perceptibly greyish-tinged.[2]
