Cerconota certiorata is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Brazil (Santa Catharina).[1]
The wingspan is 27-28 mm. The forewings are grey-whitish (white with the tips of the scales light grey), very faintly ochreous-tinged except towards the base, costa and termen. The extreme costal edge is pale fulvous and there is a small faint greyish spot on the costa at one-fourth, a small darker grey spot about the middle, and a small hemispherical blackish spot at four-fifths, from which an excurved series of blackish dots runs to the tornus. There is a semi-fusiform dorsal streak of grey suffusion from about one-fourth to three-fourths, the grey tinge tending to spread upwards into the disc. The stigmata are cloudy, grey and indistinct, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal and there is a marginal series of black dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-yellow.[2]
