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

Adults are pale cinereous straw-colour, the forewings with a fawn-coloured basal patch, which is accompanied by black streaks. There is a black point in the disk beyond the middle and the exterior space is fawn-coloured, whitish-streaked and traversed by an outward-curved whitish line. The marginal points are black and whitish-bordered. The hindwings are whitish, with the exterior part tinged with pale fawn-colour.[2]
