Stomopteryx bathrarcha is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Zimbabwe.[1][2]

The plical and second discal stigmata are obscurely darker and there is a cloudy ochreous-whitish dot on the costa at three-fourths and one or two whitish scales on the tornus opposite. The hindwings are grey.[3]
