Stenoma iostalacta is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale grey with the costal edge pale ochreous. The markings are light ferruginous-brownish, darker towards the costa and partially on the edges. There is a dot near the base in the middle and a triangular patch extending on the dorsum from near the base to the middle, its apex confluent with a spot on the costa at one-third, its posterior edge with a projection in the disc. A transverse-oval spot represents the second discal stigma and there is a triangular spot on the middle of the costa, where a shade, strongly excurved beyond the second discal stigma, runs to the dorsum at three-fourths, its extremity produced each way on the dorsal edge. There is a larger triangular spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a gently curved series of small cloudy spots runs to the tornus. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
