Stenoma blandula is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Venezuela and Paraguay.^[1]

The wingspan is 17-18 mm. The forewings are pale yellow-ochreous, slightly pinkish-tinged and with a dark grey dot in the disc at one-fourth, as well as traces of a faint irregular rather oblique line of grey irroration crossing the wing beyond this. There are two dark fuscous dots transversely placed on the end of the cell and a small cloudy grey spot beneath the middle of the costa, where an indistinct series of scattered grey scales passes around the upper margin of the cell and behind these dots. A rather large cloudy dark grey spot is found on the costa at three-fourths, where a series of cloudy dark grey dots, abruptly curved above the middle, runs to the dorsum before the tornus. There is also a series of small marginal dark fuscous dots along the termen. The hindwings are yellow-whitish.^[2]
