Stenoma hospitalis is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro).[1]
The wingspan is about 29 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous with the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base. The plical and first discal stigmata are small and ferruginous-brown, the plical obliquely posterior. There are two small dark fuscous dots transversely placed on the end of the cell and there is a triangular ferruginous-brown spot on the costa somewhat beyond the middle, and a more elongate one towards the apex. A series of small ferruginous-brown dots is found from the first costal spot strongly curved around beyond the cell, then to two-thirds of the dorsum, and a curved series from the second costal spot to the dorsum before the tornus. There are also some minute marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.[2]
