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

The wingspan is 30-33 mm. The forewings are pale violet-grey with the costal edge yellowish-ferruginous and dark violet-fuscous markings. The discal stigmata are small, the second transverse. There is a transverse blotch on the middle of the dorsum, widened downwards, reaching half across the wing between the stigmata. A small spot is found on the middle of the costa, where a faint strongly bisinuate line runs to the dorsum at three-fourths. There is a wedge-shaped spot along the posterior fourth of the costa to near the apex, sending from the anterior extremity a curved row of small blackish dots to just before the tornus and a there is also a terminal row of indistinct blackish dots. The hindwings are light ochreous-yellowish, the dorsal half suffused with light grey and the apical edge greyish.[2]
