Antaeotricha umbriferella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walker in 1864. It is found in Brazil (Amazonas).[1]

Adults are hoary, the forewings clouded with brownish cinereous along the interior border and with a dislocated abbreviated brown line along the middle of the disk. There are three oblique brown streaks extending from the costa to the disk, the first and second joining the line, the third forming an angle beyond the line and retracted to the interior border. There is a row of black points very near the exterior border, which is very convex. The hindwings are brownish cinereous moderately broad.[2]
