Antaeotricha cedroxyla is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white with a fringe of dense ochreous-whitish hairs from beneath the costa occupying the costal third from the base to two-fifths and with a reddish-brown streak from the base along the dorsum, suddenly expanded before the middle into a ferruginous-brown band occupying the dorsal three-fifths to the termen, with a rather oblique red-brown streak from the middle of the costa joining the angle of this. The plical stigma is dark fuscous, resting on the anterior edge of the expansion, the first discal fuscous, obliquely before it and there are two or three reddish-brown dots in a very oblique row from the costa before some dark brown marginal dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey with an expansible whitish hairpencil from the base lying beneath the costa to the middle.[2]
