Stenoglene roseus is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Druce in 1886.[1] It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (Katanga, East Kasai, Bas Congo), Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria and Uganda.[2]

The wingspan is about 54 mm. Both wings are pale golden ochreous, the forewings with a broadish postmedian, concave, rusty transverse band, broadening as it approaches the inner margin near the tornus. The hindwings are immaculate.[3]
