Antaeotricha theoretica is a moth in the Depressariidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Panama.
The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are brownish, with the basal half dark brown, and the dividing line suffused and rather oblique. The extreme costal edge is brownish-ochreous and the dorsal subbasal scale-projection is ferruginous-brownish. There is a dark fuscous transverse mark on the end of the cell, accompanied by slight ferruginous suffusion. A curved series of small cloudy dark fuscous spots is found from the costa at three-fifths to the dorsum at four-fifths, but obsolete in the disc above the middle. There is also a marginal series of lunulate fuscous marks around the apex and termen. The hindwings are grey.
