Antaeotricha gubernatrix is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1925. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white, the dorsal three-fifths suffused pale brownish, on the posterior third darkened to form a quadrate fuscous blotch, a dark brown streak sprinkled blackish from the base of the costa to the anterior angle of this blotch. There is a very fine black dash representing the plical stigma and a short almost longitudinal fuscous line from beneath the costa at one-sixth. Suffused dark fuscous spots are found just beneath the costal edge before and beyond the middle, where two curved oblique brownish-grey interrupted lines or series of dots run to the dorsum at two-thirds and the tornus, the second acutely indented above the middle. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are whitish, the apical third suffused pale greyish and the costa slightly dilated anteriorly, a whitish subcostal hairpencil from the base to three-fifths.[2]
