Antaeotricha forreri is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Lord Walsingham in 1913. It is found in Panama and Mexico (Durango).[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are creamy whitish, with irregular pale brownish ochreous suffusion, a dark fuscous dorsal patch commences at the base below the fold, and extends to about one-fifth. A short transverse black streak lies on the cross-vein at the end of the cell, a line of brownish scales extending to the dorsum below it. A slight brownish ochreous shade, on the costa at four-fifths, gives rise to a faint outwardly curved line of the same colour, which reverts to the dorsum before the tornus, and beyond this is a subapical shade of diffused brownish scales. The hindwings are pale tawny brownish.[2]
