Stenoma ptychophthalma is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Bolivia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 37 mm. The forewings are greyish ochreous or light fuscous, faintly pinkish tinged and the extreme costal edge grey whitish. There is a large black dot near the base in the middle and the plical stigma forms a conspicuous round black spot, the discal stigmata indicated by faint paler dots, the first obliquely before the plical. There is a faint paler macular shade preceding an excurved series of small lunulate blackish dots from the costa at four-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus, sinuate inwards towards the costa. There is also a terminal series of small blackish dots. The hindwings are dark fuscous.^[2]
