Lichenaula goniodes is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Turner in 1898. It is found in Australia,[1] where it has been recorded from Queensland.

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white, sparsely irrorated with reddish-fuscous scales and with the basal third of the costa blackish. There is a squarish reddish-fuscous blotch on the inner margin before the middle, reaching above the fold, as well as a conspicuous reddish fuscous line from the costa at three-fourths, sharply angulated in the disc, and continued parallel to the hindmargin to before the anal angle. The hindwings are pale ochreous-whitish.[2]
