Stenovalva is a genus of moths in the family Gelechiidae. It contains the species Stenovalva disclusa, which is found in Israel.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are grey confusedly speckled white and irregularly sprinkled blackish. There is a slender ochreous streak from the base above the middle to the costa beyond the middle, the posterior part suffused and hardly defined. A black dot is found on the lower edge of this at one-fourth of the wing and one in the middle of the disc (representing the first discal stigma). There is also a transverse mark of raised white and dark grey scales on the end of the cell, enlarged at the lower extremity. The hindwings are pale iridescent violet-grey.[2]
