Gonionota insignata is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1971. It is found in Ecuador.[1]
The wingspan is 16–18 mm (0.63–0.71 in). The forewings are ochraceous orange irregularly blotched with greyish fuscous, especially on the dorsum. At the basal third, in the cell, is a fuscous spot, largely obscured by the irregular greyish-fuscous blotching and at the end of the cell is a white discal spot. Subterminally, from inside the apex to the tornus, is a series of seven or eight small fuscous spots. There are some scattered white scales on the costa and at the apical third is a pale, wedge-shaped mark preceded by an ill-defined fuscous spot. The hindwings are ochreous white, slightly darker apically.[2]
