Gonioterma pacatum is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1913. It is found in Guatemala.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are shining, silky whitish ochreous, with two dark brown costal spots, one at the middle, the other beyond it. There is also a very small dark spot at the base of the costa, and sometimes a minute brown dot at the end of the cell. The hindwings are silky, yellowish white.[2]
