Antaeotricha scapularis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1918. It is found in French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is about 32 mm. The forewings are glossy light leaden-grey with the costa towards the base narrowly yellow-ochreous, then the costal edge finely white to near the apex. There is a spot of blackish-grey suffusion above the middle of the dorsum, another above and slightly anterior to this, and a third more obscure beneath the lower angle of the cell. The hindwings are grey.[2]
