Antaeotricha lignicolor

Antaeotricha lignicolor is a moth of the Depressariidae family. It is found in Peru and Colombia.^[1]

The wingspan is about 25 mm. The forewings are rather dark bronzy-brown, the costal edge whitish and the basal fourth with the dorsum and some irregular markings suffused dark fuscous, two enclosing a whitish spot beneath the costa. The costal half from one-fourth to three-fourths is lighter, and broadly suffused whitish towards the costa except on a spot somewhat beyond the middle. The dorsal area beneath the fold is suffused dark fuscous with a few whitish scales. The second discal stigma is cloudy and dark fuscous and there is a whitish line from the costa near the apex to the tornus, indented towards the costa. A waved whitish-ochreous marginal line is found around the apex and termen, with obscure dots of darker suffusion preceding this. The hindwings are dark grey with the costa broadly expanded on the anterior half with a fringe of dense projecting grey hairscales tipped whitish, with expansible whitish hairpencil in the subcostal groove from the base to beyond the middle.^[2]
