Chionodes cerussata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. [1] It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz). [2]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are dark purplish fuscous, with a very narrow, pale cream-ochreous, straight, transverse band at the extreme base, and an elongate-ovate white patch, sparsely dusted with fuscous, occupying the tornus and termen, with the cilia, to below the apex, near which it encloses a dark fuscous dot. The cilia at the extreme apex and above it is smoky fuscous and a blackish dot occurs on the disc, above the middle, at scarcely one-half from the base. The hindwings are grey. [3]
