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

The wingspan is about 29 mm. The forewings are white, with the dorsal area suffused pale greyish, darkest on the tornus. There are two oblique transverse very pale greyish shades faintly indicated about one-fourth and a rounded rather dark fuscous blotch on the dorsum beyond the middle, reaching just beyond the fold, including a few whitish scales. Two small cloudy pale grey spots are obliquely placed in the disc beyond the middle, and an oblique series of three is found towards the termen above the middle. The hindwings are grey-whitish, greyer towards the termen.
