Antaeotricha cosmoterma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are white with an irregular band of grey suffusion somewhat darker-mottled rising from the base of the costa and proceeding through the disc to the end of the cell. An oblique blackish mark on this indicates the first discal stigma, two transversely placed black dots just beyond it the second. There are two indistinct grey lines from the posterior part of this band to the dorsum and a transverse grey shade in the disc near beyond the discal pair of dots, and another from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus. A moderate terminal chestnut-brown fascia is attenuated to the tornus, crossed by undefined streaks of white suffusion. The hindwings are whitish or grey-whitish, tinged grey towards the termen.[2]
