Cerconota dryoscia is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Mexico.

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous with the extreme costal edge pale ochreous. There is a brownish dot on the end of the cell and very indistinct suffused brownish spots on the costa at the middle and three-fourths, from which still fainter excurved shades cross the wing to the dorsum at two-thirds and five-sixths respectively. There is a marginal series of indistinct brownish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey.
