Antaeotricha fumifica is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz).[1]

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white, with a somewhat clearly denned dark purplish fuscous shade along the dorsal half, interrupted before and behind the middle by patches of greyish fuscous suffusion, beyond the outer of which a curved shade of the darker colour arises from the tornus reaching to two-thirds of the width of the wing. A dark purplish fuscous spot at the end of the cell touches the upper edge of the broad dorsal shade. A series of similar, but smaller spots lies around the apex and termen. The hindwings are greyish fuscous.[2]
