Pessograptis cancellata is a moth in the family Gelechiidae.

The forewings are whitish, sprinkled with dark fuscous and with four semi-oval dark fuscous costal blotches between the base and three-fourths, nearly touching on the margin, the first two with whitish-ochreous tufts adjoining them beneath.

There is a whitish-ochreous tuft on the fold beneath the second costal blotch.

The dorsum and disc are irregularly blotched with dark grey, with some irregularly grouped blackish scales, namely three dorsal blotches, one in the disc before the middle, one beyond this beneath the middle and two transversely placed in the disc at two-thirds.

The apical fourth of the wing is irregularly suffused with dark grey and sprinkled with blackish.
