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

The wingspan is 21-22 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous, violet-tinged and with the extreme costal edge ochreous-whitish. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There are suffused dark violet-fuscous spots on the costa at the middle and four-fifths, the first sending a more or less incomplete series of cloudy dark fuscous dots to the dorsum at three-fourths, strongly curved outwards in the disc, the second sending a curved series of cloudy dark fuscous dots to the dorsum before the tornus. There is a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are pale grey with the apical half pale yellowish except on the edge.[2]
