Stenoma bicensa is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Brazil (São Paulo) and Panama.[1]
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white brownish with the costal edge whitish and with a small indistinct fuscous spot on the costa at one-fourth, giving rise to a short fine oblique irregular striga. The discal stigmata are small, dark fuscous and indistinct and there is an undefined patch of ferruginous-brownish irroration on the middle of the dorsum. There are moderate rounded dark fuscous spots on the costa at the middle and four-fifths, a strongly curved series of undefined longitudinal marks of brownish and dark fuscous irroration running from the first of these to three-fourths of the dorsum, and a curved series of dark fuscous dots from the second to the dorsum before the tornus. There is also a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings ochreous whitish, faintly tinged with greyish towards the dorsum and with yellowish towards the apex.[2]
