Cerconota fusigera is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in the Guianas and Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is 24–27 mm. The forewings are brassy-ochreous-greyish, the costal area and a cloudy somewhat curved subterminal fascia paler greyish-ochreous and with the extreme costal edge ochreous-whitish towards the middle. There is a small dark purple-fuscous spot on the middle of the costa and a fusiform fuscous mark extending along the costa from two-thirds to near the apex. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
