Gonioma hospita is a moth in the Xyloryctidae family. It was described by Felder and Rogenhofer in 1875. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are white, mixed with light grey, and with a few scattered black scales. There is a narrow oblique transverse black streak from the costa near the base, reaching half across the wing and a cloudy grey spot in the middle of the disc. The hindwings are light yellow-ochreous, with a grey apical patch.[2]
