Stenoma epipacta is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are greyish-ochreous tinged with pinkish and with the costal edge light ochreous-yellowish. There is a small blackish dot near the base in the middle. The stigmata are blackish, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is an undefined blackish-grey streak from two-fifths of the costa to one-fourth of the dorsum, traversing the first discal stigma. A series of several black dots is found from the costal extremity of this streak across the second discal stigma to near the dorsum at three-fourths and there is a strongly curved series of black dots from the costa before two-thirds to the tornus, indented above the middle. There are also eight black marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey, with some blackish hairscales.[2]
