Stenoma lucidiorella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Colombia, Brazil (Para, Amazonas) and French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are snow-white with the markings brownish-grey and the costal edge dark grey towards the base. A fascia at one-fifth is narrowly interrupted to form three spots, the uppermost not quite reaching the costa and there is a very irregular transverse streak at one-third, as well as a small spot representing the second discal stigma. An irregular fasciate streak is found from the costa at three-fifths reaching half across the wing to just beyond this, touching it and there is also a streak from the costa at four-fifths reaching one-third across the wing. A marginal series of fuscous marks is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish, posteriorly suffused pale grey.[2]
