Cerconota

Cerconota is a genus of moths in the family Depressariidae. In 1991, I. W. B. Nye and David Stephen Fletcher included it in the family Oecophoridae and the subfamily Stenomatinae. It was later placed in the family Elachistidae and subfamily Stenomatinae by Ronald W. Hodges, in Niels Peder Kristensen (1999).[2] Other classifications placed them in the Elachistidae or Oecophoridae, but they actually seem to belong to the Depressariidae.
