Antaeotricha lepidocarpa 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 19 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous with a faint purplish tinge and the extreme costal edge whitish. There are three obscure darker slightly sinuate oblique transverse lines, the first from before one-third of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum, the second from beyond the middle of the costa to four-fifths of the dorsum, the third from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, edged posteriorly with a slight whitish tinge, the second discal stigma forming a dark fuscous dot on the second line, preceded by a whitish dot. There is a marginal series of indistinct dark fuscous dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are dark grey with an elongate-oval blotch of pale greyish-ochreous modified scales in the middle of the disc, connected with the costa by a pale area. The costal area from the base to two-thirds forms a broad expansion edged with whitish scales.[2]
