Antaeotricha pratifera is a moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Costa Rica. [1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are light brown strewn with grey dots and strigulae. The costal edge is ochreous-yellowish and there is a light moss-green somewhat darker-mottled patch occupying the posterior part of the wing except a narrow terminal fascia of greyish suffusion, the anterior edge running from the costa at two-fifths directly half across the wing, then outwards to the end of the cell, and again directly to the dorsum at two-thirds, with a white dot on lower angle of the cell. The hindwings are whitish-yellowish, the basal half partially suffused pale grey. [2]
