Cerconota emma is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana and Venezuela.[1]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are light ochreous-brownish with the stigmata dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal and with a flattened-triangular fuscous spot on the costa at four-fifths, where a curved series of elongate dark fuscous dots, indented beneath the costa, runs to the dorsum before the tornus. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex. The forewings beneath have a dense expansible fringe of very long pale ochreous hairs along vein 1c from the base to the middle of the wing.[2]
