Antaeotricha oxycentra is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in the Guianas and Brazil."Antaeotricha Zeller, 1854" at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms
The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish, slightly ochreous-tinged in the disc and with an elongate dark purple-grey blotch marked with black and ochreous-brown along the basal third of the dorsum, reaching the costa at the base. There is a suffused grey mark on the dorsum just beyond this and an irregularly dentate somewhat interrupted dark grey line from one-fourth of the costa to beyond the middle of the dorsum, as well as two triangular black dots transversely placed on the end of the cell, and a triangular black spot on the dorsum beneath these, its apex somewhat produced and nearly touching the lower. A suffused violet-grey mark is found on the costa above these dots, and a bar in the disc beyond them. There is an indistinct violet-grey line from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus, somewhat sinuate near the costa and an indistinct violet-grey mark composed of four small confluent spots just before the apex and upper part of the termen, leaving a waved, white terminal line. The hindwings are grey, thinly scaled towards the base and with the costa expanded from the base to two-thirds, with a broad projection of long rough hairscales suffused with dark grey beneath, and a long whitish subcostal hair-pencil from the base lying beneath the forewings.Exotic Microlepidoptera 1 (16): 497
