Gonionota habristis

Gonionota habristis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1914. It is found in Guyana and Peru.^[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are brown suffused with pale purplish-rosy and with a yellow basal patch occupying nearly one-fourth of the wing but not reaching the costa, nearly followed in the disc by a roundish yellow blotch reaching the small black first discal stigma. The second discal stigma is small and white and there is a dark ferruginous-brown patch on the costa beyond the middle, followed by a very obliquely placed series of three white marks with some blackish scales adjoining. There is also a yellow fasciaform blotch extending along the termen throughout, edged all around with dark ferruginous-brown. The hindwings are light grey, the apex and upper part of the termen suffused with light yellowish.^[2]
