| Stenoma frondifer Busck, 1914 | |
Stenoma frondifer is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by 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]
