Stenoma melanixa is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Colombia, Guatemala and Brazil (Amazonas).[1]
The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are fuscous, paler in the disc, the costa suffused with ferruginous-brown, darkest on the edge, the lower edge with faint projections at one-third and two-thirds. The second discal stigma is indicated by a minute linear-transverse mark of several dark fuscous scales and there is a slender streak of blackish suffusion along the dorsum from one-fourth to near the tornus, as well as an indistinct conical projection of dark fuscous irroration reaching from the dorsum at three-fourths half across the wing. There is also a narrow whitish-grey terminal fascia, preceded on the costa by a small black spot. The hindwings are rather dark fuscous.[2]
