Stenoma hopfferi is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Brazil (Para) and the Guianas.[1]
The wingspan is 20–21 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, faintly pinkish-tinged with the costal area pale glossy grey and the costal edge white. The discal area is irregularly suffused with light greenish and a very small brown spot on the base of the costa, as well as three subtriangular brown costal spots edged with whitish, their costal edge blackish, the first at one-fourth is small, the others moderate, the second median, the third at four-fifths, its costal edge bisected and followed by a third similar segment. There is a brown subbasal dot in the middle and some brownish suffusion towards the dorsum at one-fourth, as well as a grey dot on the end of the cell. There is a curved dark fuscous line from the third costal spot to the dorsum before the tornus, limiting the green area, expanded into a blackish tornal blotch. The terminal edge is suffused with brownish and spotted with dark fuscous, expanded above into a triangular brown blotch extending from near the apex to below the middle, the terminal area otherwise grey-whitish. The hindwings are grey.[2]
