Cerconota tinctipennis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Butler in 1877. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are clay-coloured, with a shining pinky gloss, and the fringe incurved so as to look grey in certain lights. There is a spot in the cell, a second at the end of the cell, and a waved discal series of about six, all black. There are three brown ill-defined costal spots, the two first emitting an oblique streak to just in front of the two black discoidal spots and the third much larger, close to the apex, emitting no streak. The hindwings are bronzy brown, with the costal area pale.[2]
