Gonioterma descitum
Walsingham, 1913

Gonioterma descitum is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1913. It is found in Panama.[1]

The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are pale tawny argillaceous, with three rust-brown costal spots. One small one at one-fourth and the second, larger, at the middle. The third is largest and found at the outer fourth. From the last a slender line of scarcely separate brown spots descends to the tornus, much curved outward toward the termen. A brown shade is diffused from the flexus outward, crossing the fold, and is followed by a narrower brown shade arising before the middle of the dorsum and running obliquely backward nearly to the first costal spot. A faintly indicated similar shade curves outward from the second costal spot, but is lost before attaining the dorsum. A series of small narrow brown spots extends along the termen at the base of the pale tawny argillaceous cilia. The hindwings are yellow.[2]
