Antaeotricha discolor is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1912. It is found in Mexico (Guerrero) and Guatemala. [1]

The wingspan is 25–32 mm. The forewings are shining silvery white, with a long dark yellowish brown dorsal patch, sparsely sprinkled with white scales, occupying the whole space beneath the fold, and slightly overlapping the fold before and beyond its middle. A reduplicated yellowish spot, at the end of the cell is followed by a short pale greyish fuscous shade, a double curved row of pale greyish fuscous spots precedes the apex and termen, converging in a shade of the same colour about the tornus, but not reaching the costa. The hindwings are very pale brownish grey, the costa and apex broadly white. [2]
