Antaeotricha ceratistes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero).[1]
The wingspan is 19-21 mm. The forewings are pale fawn-grey, with a slight brownish tinge, the costal third dirty whitish, widening outwardly to the middle of the termen, but traversed by diffused lines of pale fawn-brownish scales, following the neuration beyond the end of the cell. At the end of the cell is a small brownish fuscous spot, a narrow elongate spot of the same colour placed in the middle of the fold, and a faint indication of two or three brownish fuscous dots on the lower part of the termen. The hindwings are very pale brownish grey, with a tuft of long ochreous hair-scales near the base of the costa on the upper side in the males.[2]
