Stenoma fulcrata is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 23-24 mm. The forewings are fuscous-purple with an undefined patch of dark fuscous suffusion extending along the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle and a straight suffused dark fuscous fascia from one-fourth of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum. There is a small triangular dark fuscous spot on the middle of the costa and a suffused triangular dark fuscous blotch extending along the apical third of the costa, the costal edge between this and the preceding spot whitish. There is also a terminal series of elongate blackish dots. The hindwings are ochreous-yellow, the dorsal two-fifths grey.[2]
