Cerconota machinatrix

Cerconota machinatrix is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Colombia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 28 mm. The forewings are pale brownish-ochreous with the dorsal subbasal projecting scales tinged ferruginous-brown. There is an oblique series of four irregular cloudy dark fuscous dots from the costa at one-fourth to a small cloudy ferruginous-brown spot on the fold, then continued by a faint sinuate fuscous shade to the dorsum at one-third. A straight ferruginous shade suffused posteriorly is found from before the middle of the costa to the tornus, with two obliquely placed cloudy darker dots on the anterior edge in the middle. There is an irregular waved faint fuscous line from two-thirds of the costa to the tornus, where it meets the preceding, excurved in the middle, on the lower portion with two or three crescentic dark fuscous marks. There is also a terminal series of dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are pale grey.^[2]
