Goniographa is a genus of noctuid moths (family Noctuidae). They belong to the tribe Xestiini of the typical noctuid subfamily Noctuinae, though some do not separate this tribe and include the genus in the Noctuini.
This genus was only established in 2002, when a group of species was newly described and discovered to be relatives of some long-known species traditionally placed in Eugraphe.[1]
