Antaeotricha cirrhoxantha is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]
The wingspan is 20-22 mm. The forewings are orange-ochreous with the costal edge orange-yellow and a round yellow blotch resting on the dorsum about one-fourth, and reaching more than half across the wing. There is a large bright yellow posterior area occupying the apical portion of the wing except a narrow suffused streak of groundcolour around the apex and termen, its anterior edge running from one-fourth of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum, rather irregular, with a triangular prominence of groundcolour below the middle in which is a white dot partially edged with dark fuscous. The hindwings are pale yellowish, the dorsal half suffused with very pale grey.[2]
