Chlamydastis steloglypta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in French Guiana.
The wingspan is 23-25 mm. The forewings are whitish, somewhat mixed light brownish-oehreous and with the markings ochreous-brown. There is an irregular interrupted almost basal transverse streak and an irregular fascia at one-fifth, broadest in the middle, attenuated or broken towards the costa, followed by a rather curved series of small partially confluent spots, as well as a broad transverse median fascia, narrowed on the costa, the second discal stigma forming a conspicuous black transverse spot on its posterior margin, with two or three black dots directed obliquely inwards from each extremity. A slightly curved fascia is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, somewhat narrowed on the tornus and there is a prmterminal series of small partially confluent more infuscated spots, alternating with a terminal series of brown dots. The hindwings are dark grey.
