Stenoma apsorrhoa is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Guyana and Peru.[1]

The wingspan is 13–18 mm. The forewings are brown grey or fuscous with a white line along the costa throughout, more or less thickened towards the base, continued around the termen somewhat waved to the tornus. There is a somewhat irregular slightly curved or bent white line from the middle of the costa to two-thirds of the dorsum. The hindwings are rather dark grey, darker in females.[2]
