Stenoma himerodes is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 13-15 mm. The forewings are violet-grey-whitish, slightly speckled with light grey. There is a blackish basal dot in the middle and an irregular more or less interrupted dark violet-fuscous line from one-fourth of the costa to the middle of the dorsum, posteriorly edged with ferruginous-yellow suffusion in the disc. A small dark violet-fuscous spot is found on the middle of the costa, the second discal stigma dark fuscous, and one or two dots tinged with yellow between these, as well as a somewhat curved blackish-grey line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, the apical area beyond this greyish-violet. A marginal series of blackish dots is found around this area. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.[2]
