Anadasmus venosella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas) and Bolivia.

The wingspan is 23-25 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish, all veins marked by fuscous lines but these not passing beyond the subterminal line, the base of vein 12 is shortened and bent up to base of the costa. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. There are suffused fuscous dashes on the dorsum before and beyond the middle and a very indistinct irregular dentate rather oblique fuscous transverse line before the middle, as well as an irregular subdentate slightly curved fuscous line, strongly indented beneath the costa from three-fourths of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum. A curved fuscous line is found from four-fifths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, indented towards the costa. A marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish, the apical third suffused light grey.
