Stomopteryx circaea is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1911. It is found in South Africa.[1][2]

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are dark slaty-fuscous. The stigmata are small and black, the discal approximated, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is a small flattened-triangular pale ochreous-yellowish spot on the costa at two-thirds. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[3]
