Antaeotricha infecta is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil (Para).

The wingspan is about 13 mm for males and 16 mm for females. The forewings are ochreous-brownish with the plical and second discal stigmata minute and dark fuscous. There are small fine oblique marks of fuscous irroration from the costa about one-third and the middle, as well as very fine linear interneural blackish marginal marks around the posterior part of the costa and apex, and two or three minute dots on the termen. The hindwings are dark grey.
