Menesta cinereocervina is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1892. It is found in the West Indies, where it has been recorded from St. Vincent.[1]
The wingspan is about 8 mm. The forewings are dull greyish fawn, with a small fuscous spot on the middle, followed by another at the end of the cell, slightly preceded by one below it on the fold. There is an elongate narrow fuscous shade along the costal margin beyond the middle and four fuscous dots around the apex, two on the costal and two on the apical margin. The hindwings are grey.[2]
