Stenoma immunda is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Guatemala, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina), the Guianas and Trinidad.[1]

The wingspan is about 36 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous with the plical and second discal stigmata small and dark fuscous, the plical touching the edge of the costal fold. There is a faint strongly and irregularly curved interrupted fuscous shade from the middle of the costa to three-fifths of the dorsum and a curved series of cloudy fuscous dots from beneath the costa at four-fifths to near the tornus, sinuate inwards towards the costa. There is also a terminal series of dark fuscous dots, and two fuscous dots on the costa near the apex. The hindwings are grey, the apex suffused with pale ochreous.[2]
