Antaeotricha hemibathra is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1932. It is found in Mexico. The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are whitish with a small fuscous basal patch, dark fuscous on the costa, where it extends to one-fifth, the edge irregular, oblique and nearly obsolete towards the dorsum, where it is reduced to two or three small spots. There is a small cloudy fuscous mark or faint very oblique striga from the costa at two-thirds and a suboblique dark fuscous linear mark on the end of the cell, slightly enlarged above. There is also a faint irregular oblique curved light greyish shade from the costa beyond the middle to the dorsum before the tornus, and a similar curved shade from vein 7 to the tornus, as well as a greyish marginal shade around the apex and four blackish linear marks on the posterior part of the costa, and a terminal series of small indistinct dark fuscous dots. The hindwings are light grey.
