Stenoma tetrabola is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 33 mm. The forewings are pale greyish ochreous with the costal edge blackish towards the base and with a small black spot near the base in the middle. The stigmata form around the black spots, the plical and second discal largest, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. A rather irregular strongly curved series of indistinct sub-crescentic dots of blackish irroration is found from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, approaching the termen in the middle and there is a terminal row of black dots. The hindwings are grey.[2]
