Antaeotricha juvenalis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are shining white with the markings fuscous. There is a small cloudy spot beneath the costa at one-fifth, and one on the dorsum at one-fourth. There is a strong dash in the disc before the middle and a triangular blotch on the dorsum beyond the middle, reaching nearly half across the wing, as well as a slightly curved longitudinal line from the disc above the middle to meet a very oblique line from beneath the costal edge at three-fifths, which is curved around beneath to the posterior angle of a subquadrate spot on the tornus, its anterior angle emitting a linear projection. Two small oval dark fuscous spots are found above the apex. The hindwings are white with a greyish almost apical dot.[2]
