Stenoma aptila is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Guyana.^[1]

The wingspan is 16-21 mm. The forewings are white tinged with fuscous, more or less sprinkled with dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous dot near the base in the middle, and one on the base of the costa. There is a small dark fuscous spot on the costa at one-fourth, and larger rounded ones at the middle and four-fifths. The stigmata are small and dark fuscous, the plical midway between the discal. There is a curved cloudy fuscous shade from beneath the second costal spot to behind the cell, a curved series of cloudy dark fuscous dots from the third costal spot to the dorsum before the tornus and a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish, towards the apex faintly ochreous-tinged.^[2]
