Antaeotricha copromima is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in French Guiana and Brazil.[1]

The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are white with a triangular yellowish-fuscous blotch, irregularly suffused glistening grey-whitish centrally, extending on the dorsum from the base to two-fifths and reaching more than half across the wing, the posterior edge direct, towards the angles above margined with orange-yellow suffusion. There is a small light grey spot on or above the dorsum somewhat beyond the middle and the second discal stigma is indistinct and dark grey, preceded and followed by confluent pale grey spots, some pale yellow suffusion above the first, beneath the second a pale greyish transverse spot extending to the dorsum. There is also a slightly curved pale grey narrow fascia from the tornus reaching three-fourths across the wing, terminated above with pale yellowish. A wedge-shaped grey-yellowish blotch precedes the upper part of the termen and there are some grey terminal marks. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
