Antaeotricha mitratella is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Busck in 1914. It is found in Panama.[1]
The wingspan is about 23 mm. The forewings are white, heavily overlaid with light ochreous fuscous except on the costal part, which is pure white, and an ill-defined streak from the base along the lower edge of the cell, where the white scales predominate. At the end of the cell is a short, transverse, blackish-brown streak and from the apical third of the costa runs an outwardly curved, dark fuscous, ill-defined line across the wing. At the basal third of the dorsal edge is a conspicuous tuft of light ochreous brown, raised scales. The hindwings are light fuscous.[2]
