Stenolechia frustulenta is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in India (Assam).

The wingspan is 8–9 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly and suffusedly irrorated dark brownish, sometimes forming cloudy spots or blotches attached to black markings. There is a black elongate mark on the costa towards the base, a spot at one-third and a larger one beyond the middle, as well as a black dot in the disc at one-fifth, and one towards the dorsum rather beyond it. There is a very oblique black dash in the disc before the middle and the second discal stigma is small, black, with a black dot towards the dorsum somewhat before this. There is also a short black linear mark in the disc at four-fifth and a slight black mark near the costa before the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
