Antaeotricha arizonensis (Ferris's antaeotricha moth) is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in the United States in the mountain ranges in south-eastern Arizona and south-western New Mexico. Although Antaeotricha arizonensis are easily differentiated within their genus through the dark spots on their forewings, the distinction between sexes of A. arizonensis can be complicated. The sexes of A. arizonensis (male&female) differentiate between themselves by distinct characteristics on their antennas and anatomy of their genitalia(Ferris, 59)
The forewing length is 9–11mm (0.35–0.43in) and the wingspan is about 21mm (0.83in). Adults are on wing from mid-June to October, suggesting more than one generation.

Oecophoridae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The phylogeny and systematics of gelechoid moths are still not fully resolved, and the circumscription of the Oecophoridae is strongly affected by this.
The Elachistidae are a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. Some authors lump about 3,300 species in eight subfamilies here, but this arrangement almost certainly results in a massively paraphyletic and completely unnatural assemblage, united merely by symplesiomorphies retained from the first gelechioid moths.
Gelechioidea is the superfamily of moths that contains the case-bearers, twirler moths, and relatives, also simply called curved-horn moths or gelechioid moths. It is a large and poorly understood '"micromoth" superfamily, constituting one of the basal lineages of the Ditrysia.

The forewings are pale grey and the hindwings are grey. The larvae feed on Lepidosperma laterale. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a somewhat swollen chamber near the leaf tip. Pupation takes place outside of the mine on a leaf of the host plant.
