Ectaga canescens is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are hoary grey, profusely sprinkled with brownish and brownish fuscous scaling, forming a somewhat dense shade from the costa to the middle of the fold, but leaving the basal, dorsal and terminal portions of the wing less obscure, with the exception of a narrow, terminal shade continued around the apex, and a small spot at the extreme base of the costa. The hindwings are straw-whitish, with a brownish cinereous tinge toward the apex.[2]
