Stenoma comma is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Cuba, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, French Guiana and Guyana.^[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-ochreous, pinkish-tinged, with irregularly scattered ferruginous-brown scales and with the costa narrowly grey from the base to the middle and with a short dark reddish-brown mark from the base in the middle. There is an undefined cloudy ferruginous-fuscous line from one-third of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum and a cloudy fuscous spot on the fold beyond this representing the plical stigma. There is a transverse ferruginous-fuscous mark on the end of the cell. A triangular dark fuscous spot is found on the costa beyond the middle, where an undefined interrupted irregularly curved ferruginous-fuscous line runs to four-fifths of the dorsum. There is a suffused triangular dark fuscous spot on the costa at three-fourths, where a curved ferruginous-fuscous line runs to the tornus and there is a greyish marginal line dotted with dark fuscous around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish with an elongate-oval subdorsal patch of dense black hairscales.^[2]
