Antaeotricha caprimulga 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 20 mm. The forewings are white, partially suffused with brownish grey mixed with fuscous, the base and dorsum are almost entirely suffused, the ill-defined outer edge of the shaded area extending from the costa at one-fourth obliquely to the tornus, where it is joined by a more broken transverse shade from the costa before the apex, which is preceded by a strong triangular dark fuscous spot at the end of the cell. The apex and termen are also shaded with brown-grey, mixed, as are the other shades, with dark fuscous scales distributed about them. The hindwings are pale brownish grey, in males with an ochreous costal hair-pencil.[2]
