Stenoma citroxantha is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are light grey with the extreme costal edge white except on the basal fourth and with a violet-grey streak along the basal fourth of the costa, as well as two small whitish-yellow basal spots above and below the middle. Beyond these is a transverse series of three deep yellow streaks and one spot, separated by pale violet-grey streaks, the second yellow streak longest. The costal area beyond this is whitish-yellow, marked with two dark grey spots, and terminated by an elongate dark grey blotch about two-thirds. There is a large blackish patch extending over the median third of the wing except the costal area and the posterior area is grey marked with obscure darker longitudinal streaks, and cut by a paler curved subterminal shade tinged with whitish-yellowish towards the costa. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
