Gonioterma chromolitha
species of insect
Gonioterma chromolitha is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Bolivia.
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are ochreous white, the costal edge pale greyish ochreous, towards the base dark grey. There are three dark indigo-blue spots on the costa, the first two small, at one-fourth and the middle, the third larger, at four-fifths. There is a patch of brownish-grey suffusion covering the dorsal half from one-fourth to the tornus, limited posteriorly by a curved dark coppery-grey shade from the third costal spot. The plical and second discal stigmata form suffused coppery-purplish spots, each connected with the dorsum by a dark coppery-purplish shade, some dark purplish suffusion towards the dorsum between these. There is a marginal series of dark indigo-blue dots around the apex and upper part of the termen, the largest above the apex. The hindwings are ochreous whitish, the terminal edge more ochreous tinged.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gonioterma chromolitha”, the useful work is to connect “species of insect” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q22286295. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
