Stenoma frondifer is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1914. It is found in Panama. [1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are dark brownish fuscous with a greenish tint and strongly mottled with transverse, black striations. At the end of the cell lies a large oblong leafgreen spot which is connected by a narrow neck with another similar, but perpendicular, oval spot at the tornus. Below the first of these spots is a small, pure, white dot as in Antaeotricha virens . The hindwings are light fuscous and unicolored. [2]
