Gonioma (moth)

Gonioma is a genus of moths belonging to the family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae. These moths are found primarily in the Neotropical region, including Central and South America. The genus is characterized by specific wing patterns and coloration, which can vary between species. Adult moths are typically nocturnal and may be attracted to light sources. Larval stages of Gonioma moths feed on various plant species, but specific host plant information is not consistently documented across all species within the genus. Further research is needed to fully understand the life cycle, distribution, and ecological role of many Gonioma species. Taxonomic classification within the Arctiinae is complex and ongoing, and the placement of certain Gonioma species may be subject to revision as new data become available.
