Antaeotricha capsiformis is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.
The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are white, faintly tinged pale ochreous on the costal half except posteriorly and with a semi-oval dark grey blotch extending on the dorsum from the base to beyond the middle and reaching half across the wing, the edge with a rounded projection posteriorly indicating the plical stigma, the first discal stigma dark fuscous, rather before this. There is a transverse-rectangular grey blotch from the dorsum posteriorly reaching three-fourths across the wing, its upper angle receiving anteriorly a rather oblique grey fascia from the middle of the costa, with a dark fuscous second discal stigma in an indentation of the anterior edge, a small cloudy light grey spot preceding the blotch beneath this. A cloudy grey spot rests on the upper half of the termen and nearly reaches the blotch. The hindwings whitish, towards the apex and upper part of termen the suffused pale grey.
