Antaeotricha cosmoterma is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.

The wingspan is 13-14 mm. The forewings are white with an irregular band of grey suffusion somewhat darker-mottled rising from the base of the costa and proceeding through the disc to the end of the cell. An oblique blackish mark on this indicates the first discal stigma, two transversely placed black dots just beyond it the second. There are two indistinct grey lines from the posterior part of this band to the dorsum and a transverse grey shade in the disc near beyond the discal pair of dots, and another from four-fifths of the costa to the tornus. A moderate terminal chestnut-brown fascia is attenuated to the tornus, crossed by undefined streaks of white suffusion. The hindwings are whitish or grey-whitish, tinged grey towards the termen.
