Cerconota sphragidopis is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Guyana and French Guiana.[1]
The wingspan is 25–26 mm. The forewings are grey, sometimes tinged with brownish and with an undefined fuscous blotch occupying the basal third of the dorsum and reaching two-thirds across the wing. There are three or four slender very irregular and indistinct fuscous lines crossing the wing, the last running from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus and marked with a round reddish-fuscous blotch in the disc. A reddish-fuscous marginal streak is found around the posterior part of the costa and termen, widest at the apex. The hindwings are rather dark grey.[2]
