Stenolechia bathrodyas is a moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Japan (Honshu, Kyushu) and Korea.[1]
The wingspan is 7 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish irrorated fuscous and with median subdorsal black dots almost at the base, as well as blackish dots representing the stigmata, the first discal towards the costa, the plical directly beneath it, the second discal in the middle, an additional dot on the fold beneath it. There are small dark fuscous spots on the costa at two-fifths and twothirds and spots of dark fuscous suffusion at the apex and tornus, and one before the middle of the termen, the latter containing a small black linear mark. There is also a tornal black dot. The hindwings are grey.[2]
The larvae feed on Juniperus species. They mine the leaves of their host plant.[3]
