Gonionota erotopis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1926. It is found in Bolivia.[1]

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are yellow, more or less nearly wholly suffused rosy-crimson, the groundcolour only appearing as obscure reticulation in the disc. The extreme costal edge is white about two-fifths and three-fourths, fuscous between these and anteriorly. The stigmata are very small and blackish, the first discal surrounded with yellow, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, a greyish line from above the middle of the disc passing between these to the dorsum at one-third. There are two irregularly sinuate-curved transverse series of cloudy dark grey dots between the cell and termen, the veins in this area broadly suffused light ochreous-brownish. The hindwings are pale ochreous-rosy, the base tinged whitish.[2]
