Antaeotricha orthophaea is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 19-20 mm. The forewings are dull white with a grey basal patch, mottled dark fuscous, the edge oblique, from one-fourth of the costa to two-fifths of the dorsum. There is a small black spot on the middle of the dorsum, surrounded by a light grey cloud. The first discal stigma is grey and there is a sinuate grey line from the end of the cell to the dorsum at four-fifths, the lower end blackish. An irregular oblique grey shade is found from the middle of the costa, reaching it across the wing near beyond this. There is a hardly curved grey line from a triangular costal spot at three-fourths to the tornus, separated by a white line from a dark grey terminal fascia including a waved white terminal line. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
