Stomopteryx biangulata
Meyrick, 1921

Stomopteryx biangulata is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Mozambique.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are dark grey, the costal half of the wing from the base to two-thirds largely suffused with ochreous-whitish and the costa towards the base narrowly suffused with dark fuscous. The stigmata are large and blackish, the plical rather obliquely before the first discal. There is a white oblique line, slightly sinuate, from the costa at three-fourths to near the middle of the termen, then acutely angulated inwards to the second discal stigma, and again acutely angulated to the tornus. The hindwings are grey.[3]
