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

The wingspan is about 27 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, with the dorsal three-fifths faintly greyish-tinged and the extreme costal edge whitish. The stigmata are dark grey, the plical small, obscure and rather obliquely beyond the fiĀrst discal. There are two or three greyish dots in an oblique series from a small spot of greyish suffusion on the costa just before the middle to the second discal and there is a very oblique hardly excurved series of six grey dots from beneath the costa at two-thirds to near the termen in the middle, then angulated and continued as a faint dotted greyish line to the tornus. A marginal series of dark grey dots is found around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
