Stenoma heteroxantha is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Paraguay[1] and Brazil.

The wingspan is 16–17 mm. The forewings are orange yellow, with the costal edge whitish and the stigmata small, indistinct and violet brownish, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There are rather small violet-brownish spots on the costa at the middle and three-fourths, and on the tornus. The hindwings are pale grey or whitish grey.[2]
