Stenoma unguentata is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Pará, Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is 22–23 mm. The forewings are whitish violet with the costal edge pale ochreous yellowish from the base to two-thirds, edged with greyish-violet suffusion beneath and with a fine greyish-violet straight shade from two-fifths of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, the plical stigma forming a faint spot on it. The second discal stigma is cloudy and violet grey. The hindwings are grey whitish strewn with violet-grey hairscales except towards the base.[2]
