Stenostrophia amabilis is a species of flower longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by LeConte in 1857. It belongs to the subfamily Lepturinae, a group commonly known as flower longhorns due to their frequent association with blossoms. The species is found in North America, with records from the western United States and Canada. Adults have been observed visiting flowers of composite plants (Asteraceae), a typical behavior for lepturine cerambycids.
