Gonioterma gubernata is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are fuscous whitish with the extreme costal edge white and the stigmata dark fuscous, the first discal enlarged into a moderate round spot, the plical obliquely beyond it. There is a small dark fuscous spot on the costa at one-fourth, a somewhat larger one in the middle, indicating the origin of a short series of several cloudy dark fuscous dots beyond the cell, and a moderate triangular spot at three-fourths, where a rather strongly curved series of dark fuscous dots runs to the dorsum before the tornus. There is also a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous whitish.[2]
