Stenoglene bipartita is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Rothschild in 1917.[1] It is found in Democratic Republic of Congo (Orientale), Niger and Nigeria.[2]
The wingspan is about 55 mm. The costal portion of the forewings is olive-chocolate with a shadowy darker stigmatic patch and the dividing line dirty pink. The tornal portion is yellowish grey, washed with olive-brown and with four transverse lines of varying length, the two middle ones crenulate. The hindwings are yellow-grey with two dark-grey transverse bands and there is a wedge-shaped area running almost to the base between the abdominal area and the costal three-fifths of the wing is dirty orange.[3]
