Cerconota oceanitis is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.

The wingspan is 20-21 mm. The forewings are pale purplish, tinged with pale greenish except towards the costa and with the costal edge ferruginous-yellowish. There is a cloudy dark fuscous dot at the base of the costa and there are three dark fuscous costal spots, the first at one-fourth is small, the second before the middle is oblique and narrowest on the edge and the third about three-fourths is elongate-semioval. There are vague indications of greenish-fuscous lines proceeding from the first two of these, the second curved outwards around a small discal spot on the end of the cell. A series of small dark fuscous dots runs from third costal spot to the dorsum before the tornus, curved outwards in the disc and there is a small dark fuscous mark on the costa before the apex, and a partially confluent series of similar marks along the termen. The hindwings are grey, but darker towards the apex.
