Loxotoma seminigrens is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 37 mm. It differs essentially from Loxotoma elegans only in the hindwings. These are rather dark grey on the basal half, becoming brownish rosy posteriorly, and veins 3 and 4 are stalked for two-fifths of their length.[2]
