Stenoma lapilella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by August Busck in 1914. It is found in Panama and Brazil.
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish grey with the costa and termen narrowly rather dark grey. From the dorsum near the base, a rather dark grey streak is found parallel to the costa to near the middle and there is a somewhat oblique-transverse streak of brown suffusion about the middle of the disc. The plical and second discal stigmata are moderate and blackish, a blackish dot above and before the latter, another beneath and beyond, and a few black specks around it. There is an indistinct spot of blackish suffusion on the middle of the costa and a curved blackish-grey shade from the costa at two-thirds to the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey closely irrorated dark grey.
