Antipterna nivea is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1940 as Ocystola nivea. [1] [2] The species epithet, nivea, derives from the Latin adjective, niveus ("snow-white"). [2] The male lectotype for Ocystola nivea was collected at Warwick in Queensland. [1]
