Cerconota inturbatella is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas), French Guiana and Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are deep yellow-ochrcous, posteriorly slightly purple-tinged, the costal edge deep ochreous-yellow and with faint slender oblique fuscous lines from the costa at one-fourth and the middle, hardly reaching half across the wing, and one slightly curved from three-fourths of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus. The plical and second discal stigmata are small, fuscous and indistinct and there are seven small dark fuscous marginal dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are dark grey.[2]
