Stereomita is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Stereomita andropogonis, which is found in most of eastern North America.[1][2]
The wingspan is 8.5-9.5 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, deepest toward the apex, and dusted with dark brown scales, most densely on the costal and dorsal margins with a tendency to longitudinal streaking. At two-thirds of the costa, the dusting usually forms two diffuse oblique streaks. Along the termen, there is a series of indistinct brownish dots, and opposite the extreme apex, in the cilia, a transverse brownish spot. The hindwings are pale brown.[3]
