Gonioterma seppiana is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in the Guianas.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous with the extreme costal edge ochreous-whitish. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a suffused dark fuscous streak along the dorsum from one-fifth to two-thirds, and some undefined fuscous suffusion between this and the stigmata. A small dark fuscous spot is found on the costa at one-fourth and there are rather large triangular blackish spots on the costa at the middle and four-fifths, the first indicating the origin of a hardly defined cloudy curved line of fuscous irroration passing behind the cell, the second giving rise to a curved series of dark fuscous dots running to the dorsum before the tornus. There is also a marginal series of black dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-yellowish, hardly perceptibly greyish-tinged anteriorly.[2]
