Gonionota hypoleuca is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by John Frederick Gates Clarke in 1971. It is found in Venezuela.[1]

The wingspan is 16–22 mm. The forewings are snuff brown, many of the scales tipped whitish. From the basal third of the costa a very faint, ill-defined white line, interrupted in cell by a fuscous spot, extends to the fold and the tornus has an ill-defined fuscous blotch. The hindwings are sepia.[2]
