Sclerocris styphlodes is a moth in the Oecophoridae family. It was described by Turner in 1946.[1] It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[2]

The wingspan is 21-26 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous with dark fuscous dots and with a whitish costal edge. The discal spots are approximated, the first discal at one-third, the plical beneath it and the second discal at the middle. There is a curved subterminal line of minute dots, sometimes indistinct. The hindwings are grey.[3]
