Stenoglene obtusus is a moth in the Eupterotidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo (East Kasai, Katanga), Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa (Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal), Tanzania and Zimbabwe.

The wingspan is about 45 mm. The forewings are fulvous with almost obliterated transverse linear fasciae, the first practically obsolete and not anteriorly recurved, the second a little more distinct. The hindwings are croceous without black spots on the abdominal area.
