Antaeotricha ovulifera is a species of moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in Peru.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are dark grey with the extreme costal edge whitish from about one-fourth to three-fourths. The first discal stigma and obliquely posterior plical are faintly darker and there is a small suffused white elongate spot on the fold towards the extremity. There is a slightly curved dark fuscous shade from beyond the middle of the costa to the dorsum before the tornus, preceded by some whitish scales in the disc and a suffused white mark on the costa, as well as a dark fuscous shade from the costa at four-fifths to the middle of the termen. Three minute whitish dots are found around the apex. The hindwings are blackish-grey.[2]
