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

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous, with a faint yellowish tinge, the costal and dorsal thirds suffused fuscous except towards the termen, with scattered dark fuscous scales, the costal veins fuscous. There is a slender dark fuscous dorsal streak from one-fourth to the middle. The fiĀrst discal stigma forms a small spot of fuscous suffusion, the plical linear, dark fuscous, somewhat beyond it, the second discal forming an interrupted dark fuscous transverse linear mark. There is a marginal series of dark fuscous marks around the apical one-fourth of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.
