Antaeotricha macronota is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Colombia and Surinam.[1]

The wingspan is 24-27 mm. The forewings are rosy-brownish or rosy-fuscous, more or less tinged or suffused with darker violet-fuscous on the dorsal half and posteriorly, darkest in males and with the costal edge ferruginous in females. A darker brown streak rises from the costa at one-fourth and runs above the cell to its upper angle. There is also a white dot at the lower angle of the cell. The hindwings have a greyish cilia in males and a pale ochreous cilia in females.[2]
