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

The wingspan is 13–16 mm. The forewings are whitish, irregularly irrorated with dark fuscous and with an angulated series of small irregular dark fuscous spots crossing the wing about one-third. There is a narrow elongate or semi-oval dark fuscous blotch on the middle of the costa and a transverse dark fuscous mark on the end of the cell, as well as an irregular spot of dark fuscous suffusion on the dorsum towards the tornus. A dark fuscous costal spot is found about two-thirds, where a strongly curved line of small subcontinent dark fuscous spots runs to the tornus and there is a series of small semi-oval dark fuscous spots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are pale grey.[2]
