Antaeotricha tremulella is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in the Guianas and Brazil.[1]
The wingspan is 25-26 mm. The forewings are white with three short blackish bars more or less suffused together with grey forming an elongate blotch along the basal fourth of the costa. There is a blackish-grey spot on the dorsum at one-third, with projecting dorsal scales beneath this ferruginous. Two or three indistinct dots of blackish-grey irroration are found in the disc on the basal third and there is some faint irregular greyish suffusion on the dorsal half of the median area and a blackish somewhat transverse dot on the end of the cell, as well as an irregular curved grey shade from beneath the costa beyond the middle to four-fifths of the dorsum and a dark grey spot on the costa beyond three-fourths. A somewhat curved grey shade is found from beneath this to the tornus, sometimes connected with the preceding shade by a vague pale greyish suffusion and there is a dark grey shade around the apex, rather thick above and attenuated downwards, not reaching the tornus. The hindwings are grey, more or less whitish-tinged near the base and with the costa expanded from the base to two-thirds, with long rough projecting hairscales suffused with blackish-grey beneath, and a long whitish subcostal hairpencil from the base lying beneath the forewings.[2]
