Gonioterma advocata is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.^[1]

The wingspan is 25-26 mm. The forewings are lilac-whitish, the costal edge white. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical and first discal small, the plical very obliquely posterior, the second discal moderate and transverse, with a cloudy sometimes divided small dark fuscous spot adjacent to it posteiiorly. There are scattered dark fuscous scales vaguely indicating a postmedian line and small dark fuscous spots on the costa at the middle and four-fifths, the second sending a strongly curved series of dark fuscous dots to the dorsum before the tornus. A marginal series of dark fuscous dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are ochreous-grey-whitish with a long dense whitish ochreous hairpencil from the base lying in a subdorsal fold.^[2]
