Stenoma arridens is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in French Guiana. The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are light violet brownish with a rounded basal patch of whitish-grey suffusion, narrowed on the dorsum. The plical stigma is obscurely darker, posteriorly edged by two or three whitish-grey scales, the second discal forming a small round orange-tinged spot edged whitish grey except beneath, an irregular whitish-grey line from the middle of the costa to the anterior edge of this. The costal edge is pale grey-yellowish on the posterior half and there is a terminal series of whitish-grey dots, preceded on the apical area by a whitish-grey macular line. The hindwings are blackish grey.
