Antaeotricha stringens

Antaeotricha stringens is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1925. It is found in Brazil.^[1]

The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are shining white, with the markings rather dark grey and a median dash near the base, as well as a thick subdorsal streak from near the base to two-fifths, expanded downwards in the middle to rest on the dorsum. There is an irregular streak from the costa at one-fourth to a quadrate blotch on the dorsum beyond the middle. There is a second discal stigma forming a small transverse mark and an irregular rather curved streak from above the middle of the disc passing just beyond this to a transverse pre-tornal spot narrowed on the dorsum. A somewhat curved dentate streak (or series of confluent marks) is found from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus but widely interrupted beneath the costa. A marginal streak of three or four confluent spots is found on the apex and upper part of the termen, widest at the apex. The hindwings are light grey, whitish-tinged near the base, the costa suffused white posteriorly and the costa expanded on the basal half, with a projecting tuft of dark grey hairscales before the middle, and a yellowish-tinged subcostal groove with a few short whitish hairs at the base.^[2]
