Stenoptera

Stenoptera is a genus of flowering plants from the family Orchidaceae, endemic to South America.[1][2][3]

The gelechioid moth genus Stenoptera, established by Duponchel in 1838, is a junior synonym of Esperia. The gall midge genus Stenoptera, invalidly established by Meunier in 1902, has been renamed Neostenoptera.
