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)
