Stenoma hoplitica is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

The wingspan is 16-17 mm. The forewings are light pinkish-violet with the costal edge ochreous-yellow to near the apex. The plical stigma is obscurely grey, followed by some whitish scales, the second discal transverse, dark grey. There is a suffused pale grey terminal patch, its edge rather convex, running from the apex to the dorsum about two-thirds, traversed by a grey sinuate subterminal shade. The hindwings are grey.[2]
