Stenolechia orsicoma is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in southern India and Sri Lanka.

The wingspan is 11–12 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly irrorated ochreous or ochreous-fuscous, tending to form suffused spots beneath dark markings. The markings are blackish, with elongate spots on the costa towards the base, before the middle, and at two-thirds, as well as a dot above the dorsum near the base and small dots above and below the fold at one-fourth. There is an elongate mark in the middle of the disc, and a linear dot on the fold somewhat before it. There is also a suffused spot on the tornus, a narrow elongate spot or short streak in the disc at five-sixths and two dots on the costa posteriorly and one at the apex, sometimes little marked. The hindwings are pale grey, paler and bluish-tinged in the disc.
