Gonioterma chromolitha is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Bolivia.[1]

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are ochreous white, the costal edge pale greyish ochreous, towards the base dark grey. There are three dark indigo-blue spots on the costa, the first two small, at one-fourth and the middle, the third larger, at four-fifths. There is a patch of brownish-grey suffusion covering the dorsal half from one-fourth to the tornus, limited posteriorly by a curved dark coppery-grey shade from the third costal spot. The plical and second discal stigmata form suffused coppery-purplish spots, each connected with the dorsum by a dark coppery-purplish shade, some dark purplish suffusion towards the dorsum between these. There is a marginal series of dark indigo-blue dots around the apex and upper part of the termen, the largest above the apex. The hindwings are ochreous whitish, the terminal edge more ochreous tinged.[2]
