Anadasmus leontodes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1915. It is found in Surinam.

The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are reddish-brown with the plical and second discal stigmata small and dark fuscous. There is some fuscous suffusion towards the dorsum about one-fourth and an undefined fascia of fuscous suffusion crossing the wing about two-thirds, strongly curved outwards in the disc. There is a curved subterminal series of fuscous dots. The hindwings are fuscous, with an apical patch of pale ochreous suffusion.
