Gonionota anisodes
species of moth
Gonionota anisodes is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1916. It is found in French Guiana and Brazil.
The wingspan is 16–17 millimetres (0.63–0.67 in). The forewings are ochreous brown, somewhat lighter and yellowish-tinged towards the dorsum and termen. There is a darker brown streak along the dorsum from one-fourth to three-fourths. A faint violet-whitish dot is found on the costa at two-fifths, and a fine indistinct oblique whitish strigula at three-fourths. The first discal stigma is minute and blackish, the second very small and white. The hindwings are grey.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Gonionota anisodes” is species of moth. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Gonionota, anisodes and species, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “species of moth” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25095142. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1916.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. 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.
