Gonioterma crambitella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1889. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona, Texas and Arkansas.[1][2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are rather shining white with a suffusion of faint ochreous scales along the veins and nervules. On the extreme costal margin at the base are a few greyish-fuscous scales, and a single dot of the same colour lies at the end of the discal cell in the middle of the wing. The hindwings are greyish white, with a faint ochreous tinge.[3] Adults are on wing from April to August.[4]
