Antaeotricha segmentata is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Guyana.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are white with the costal edge dark fuscous towards the base and with a rather short dark fuscous longitudinal streak from the base of the costa, as well as a very oblique one from one-fourth of the costa, a longitudinal one in the disc about one-third, and a rather longer slightly sinuate very oblique one in the disc beyond the middle. A similar longitudinal streak is found beneath the fold towards the base, connected anteriorly with a narrow elongate dark fuscous blotch along the basal third of the dorsum. There is an irregular dark fuscous blotch on the middle of the dorsum, with an angular projection anteriorly. A trapezoidal dark fuscous blotch is found on the tornus, broadest above, and an irregular dark fuscous line from two-thirds of the costa running into its posterior angle. There is also a series of small dark fuscous marginal spots around the apex and termen. The hindwings grey, basally suffused with grey-whitish.[2]
