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

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are very pale greyish-ochreous, suffused with whitish between the veins and with the costal edge whitish. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal, the second discal transverse-linear. There are two transverse series of cloudy fuscous dots, the first from beneath the costa at two-fifths very obliquely outwards, forming a quadrate loop behind the cell and returning to beneath the origin of vein 2, then to the dorsum at two-thirds, the second from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, rather strongly sinuate-indented beneath the costa, then rather strongly curved outwards. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish.^[2]
