Stenoma sequestra

Stenoma sequestra is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in the Guianas and Brazil.^[1]

The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are whitish-grey, very faintly violet-tinged and with the costal edge white. There is a large basal patch of dark brownish irroration, the edge running from beyond one-fourth of the costa to three-fifths of the dorsum, somewhat convex. An oblique dark fuscous mark is found on the costa at one-fourth and the second discal stigma forms a dark fuscous transverse mark. There is a blackish elongate mark on the costa beyond the middle, where an oblique irregular brownish line runs to a brownish ring beyond the second discal stigma. There is also a flattened-triangular blackish spot on the costa at four-fifths, where a rather strongly curved brown-grey line runs to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a terminal series of black dots or marks. The hindwings are ochreous-grey-whitish.^[2]
