Cerconota miseta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1913. It is found in Costa Rica and French Guiana.[1]
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are greyish brown, with a peculiar brassy grey (in some lights almost greenish) metallic sheen. Some almost obsolete darker markings are scarcely discernible; a small patch on the upper edge of the cell at about one-third, a sinuate streak from the costa beyond the middle, bowed outward and apparently continued to the dorsum at two-thirds, and a somewhat similar sinuate line nearer to the apex, also bowed outward at its middle and produced downward to the tornus. There is also a dark spot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are brownish fuscous.[2]
