Antaeotricha plesistia is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Brazil.

The wingspan is 21-23 mm. The forewings are light greyish-ochreous with the extreme costal edge whitish and the stigmata blackish, the plical elongate, obliquely beyond the first discal. There is an oblique series of three small dark fuscous dots from beneath the costa before the middle to the second discal and a strongly excurved series of similar dots from beneath the costa at three-fifths to the tornus. A marginal series of blackish dots is found around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey, towards the base whitish-tinged and with the costa broadly expanded on the basal three-fifths in males, also with a pale yellowish subcostal groove to the middle.
