Antaeotricha amphizyga is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil (Para).[1]
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are dull white with markings of dark fuscous mottling suffused grey and with a dot on the base of the costa and a broad irregular oblique almost basal fascia continued on the dorsal two-fifths of the wing to unite with a broad slightly sinuate fascia from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, the second fascia mixed white internally on the upper half and carrying a black discal dot surrounded by white on the anterior edge. There is a suffused spot from the costa before the upper part of the termen, the posterior edge waved and leaving the termen white. The hindwings are grey.[2]
