Gonioma hypoxantha is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1894. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.
The wingspan is 33–35 mm. The forewings are whitish grey, sparsely irrorated (sprinkled) with blackish scales. The hindwings are ochreous yellow with a pale fuscous suffusion at the apex.
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Acacia nilotica. They bore under the bark of their host plant.[2]
