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

The wingspan is 24-25 mm. The forewings are ochreous-whitish, with the veins more or less strongly streaked fuscous, tending to obsolescence towards the costa and sometimes towards the termen and there is a short very oblique fuscous streak from the costa near the base. There is a suffused dark fuscous subquadrate blotch on the middle of the dorsum. An obtusely angulated greyish shade is found from beyond the middle of the costa to three-fourths of the dorsum more or less indicated, the ground colour is sometimes tinged grey between the neural streaks posteriorly, and there is an undefined blotch of grey suffusion occupying the basal half of veins 3-7. The hindwings are grey.
