Antaeotricha phaselodes is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil.

The wingspan is 19-20 mm. The forewings are brownish-ochreous, paler towards the costa anteriorly. The fiĀrst discal stigma is indistinct and fuscous, sometimes with a faint oblique shade from this to the dorsum. There is an indistinct oblique fuscous line from the middle of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus and a faint curved line from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus sometimes indicated. The hindwings are pale greyish, the apex tinged pale ochreous. In males, the anterior three-fourths of the costa is evenly expanded, abruptly terminated, with a subcostal groove beneath this.
