Eustalodes oenosema is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1927. It is found on Samoa.

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish with a slight rosy tinge, irrorated with light brown except on the anterior half of the costa. There is an oblique-triangular rosy-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa, and four or five suffused oblique strigulae between this and the apex. A rosy brownish linear dot with two or three black scales is found just above the dorsum before the tornus, and one or two others in the disc posteriorly. There is also a slight blackish dot on the termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled and subhyaline towards the base, the apex suffused light brownish.
