Setiostoma cirrhobasis is a species of sedge moths in the genus Setiostoma. It was described by Duckworth in 1971.[1] It is found in the humid low highlands of Guatemala and El Salvador.
The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The forewings are yellow basally, concolorous and continuous with the thorax and tegula. The distal margin of the yellow area is bordered by a dark brown line immediately paralleled by a broad, transverse band of iridescent blue-violet scales. The hindwings are dark brown with a white patch on the anterior margin, some white scaling and white hair pencils in the anal area near the base.[2]
