Antipterna spathulata is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1944 as Ocystola spathulata. [1] [2] The species epithet, spathulata, derives from the Latin, spathulatus ("spoon-shaped"). [2] The male lectotype for Ocystola spathulata was collected at Waroona in Western Australia. [1]
