Antaeotricha confixella is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found in Amazonas, Brazil.[1]

Adults are brown, the forewings for nearly one-third of the surface from the base obliquely brown and containing three black basal dots. The exterior surface is partly and slightly clouded with cinereous (ash gray) and there is a black transverse streak beyond the middle, composed of one spot and of three hinder points. There is a cinereous spot near the hinder side of the black spot and a little more exterior. The fringe is cinereous. The hindwings are brownish cinereous, whitish towards the base.[2]
