Antaeotricha incompleta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Mexico.

The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are pale greyish, with the costal edge white and the costal third suffused ochreous-white on the basal two-fifths and a short dark grey dorsal streak near the base. There are two very obliquely placed dark grey dots (including the first discal stigma) in the disc about one-fourth, directed towards the anterior angle of an ill-defined quadrate median dorsal blotch of darker grey suffusion. There are spots of darker grey suffusion on the costa before the middle and at two-thirds, the first connected by one or two dark grey dots (including the second discal stigma) with the anterior angle of a pre-tornal subquadrate blotch of darker grey suffusion, the second sending a very oblique darker grey line rather abruptly curved in the disc to the tornus. There is also a marginal series of dark fuscous dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are pale grey with an expansible subcostal grey-whitish hairpencil from the base reaching beyond the middle.
