Chlamydastis steloglypta is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 23–25 mm. The forewings are whitish, somewhat mixed light brownish ochreous and with the markings ochreous brown. There is an irregular interrupted almost basal transverse streak and an irregular fascia at one-fifth, broadest in the middle, attenuated or broken towards the costa, followed by a rather curved series of small partially confluent spots, as well as a broad transverse median fascia, narrowed on the costa, the second discal stigma forming a conspicuous black transverse spot on its posterior margin, with two or three black dots directed obliquely inwards from each extremity. A slightly curved fascia is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, somewhat narrowed on the tornus and there is a preterminal series of small partially confluent more infuscated spots, alternating with a terminal series of brown dots. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
