Gonioma hospita is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Cajetan Felder, Rudolf Felder and Alois Friedrich 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]
