Antaeotricha xylocosma is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in French Guiana.[1]
The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, slightly sprinkled with whitish, beneath the costa forming several small very indistinct cloudy whitish spots. There is a pale brownish-ochreous curved transverse-linear mark beneath the costa at one-fifth. The discal stigmata are cloudy and blackish, each with an indistinct brownish-ochreous dot adjacent beneath. The hindwings are dark fuscous, the costa expanded from the base to three-fifths, with long rough projecting scales suffused with brown beneath, and a long whitish subcostal hairpencil from the base lying beneath the forewings.[2]
