Stenoma consociella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Suriname, Guatemala, Panama and Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

The wingspan is about 20–21 mm. The forewings are stone whitish, with a very pale fawn-brownish suffused shade. A fuscous shade on the cell at one-fourth, with a smaller one on the fold, below and a little beyond it, is succeeded by another at the end of the cell, beyond which is a curved series of very indistinct fawn-brownish shade streaks at the base of the diverging veins. Beyond these is a series of dots of the same colour, commencing with three from the costa, forming an angle below it a little darker than the remainder, which, curving outward opposite to the middle of the termen, revert to the dorsum before the tornus. A further series of brownish-fuscous dots, two costal and seven terminal, extends around the margin. The hindwings are whitish grey.[2]
