Gonioterma projecta is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 19-20 mm for males and 22-23 mm for females. The forewings are fuscous-whitish with the extreme costal edge white. The stigmata are small and dark fuscous, the plical midway between the discal. There is a small dark fuscous spot on the costa at one-fourth, and moderate ones at the middle and three-fourths. A partial indistinct sinuate grey transverse shade is found beyond the cell and there is a rather strongly curved series of dark fuscous dots from the third costal spot to the dorsum before the tornus, as well as a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-whitish, with the apical edge fuscous.[2]
