Antaeotricha habilis is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is 17-20 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous with a blackish dash near the base above the middle and a spot of dark grey suffusion on the dorsum at one-third, as well as a series of three or four irregular dark grey marks from near the costa before the middle to near the dark fuscous second discal stigma. There is an irregular-edged suffused transverse dark fuscous patch from the dorsum beneath the second discal stigma, nearly reaching it and a cloudy curved interrupted grey subterminal shade from opposite the apex to the tornus. A series of small dark fuscous marginal dots is found around the apex and termen, sometimes little marked. The hindwings are pale greyish.[2]
