Antaeotricha furcata

Antaeotricha furcata is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1889. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona and New Mexico.^[1][2]

The wingspan is about 27 mm for males and 30 mm for females. The forewings are white, with a slight tinge of brownish-grey, commencing near the base of the dorsal margin and extending to the anal angle below the discal cell, and very faintly in a narrow line along the base of the cilia in the apical margin. In the females there is a faint indication of pale, greyish clouds and spots at the end of the cell, and of a pale greyish transverse line between this and the apical margin on the lower half of the wing, and in the abdominal angle are some raised scales. There are also a few divided black scales in the middle of the cilia. The hindwings are dark cinereous in males and pale greyish-ochreous in females.^[3]
