Stenoglene thelda is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Druce in 1887.[1] It is found in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo (Katanga, Orientale) and Sierra Leone.[2]
The forewings are brownish fawn, thickly irrorated with white scales and with a small V-shaped brown mark on the costal close to the apex, as well as a brown mark along the outer margin. There is a curved line of black lunular-shaped marks extending from the apex to the inner margin above the anal angle. The hindwings are pale yellow, crossed below the middle by two fawn-coloured bands of lunular-shaped marks, the first not reaching the costal margin. There are three patches of dark-brown hairs on the inner margin.[3]
