Antaeotricha tempestiva is a species of moth of the family Depressariidae. It is found in French Guiana.
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are yellow-ochreous suffused with light brownish, becoming browner towards the base. The costal edge is whitish-ochreous, edged beneath with fuscous. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal and there are two indistinct lilac-brownish lines sprinkled with dark fuscous, the first rather irregular, from the middle of the costa behind the cell to three-fourths of the dorsum, the second from a cloudy spot on the costa at four-fifths to the dorsum before the tornus, curved. There is also a marginal series of blackish dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.

Why this record matters
“Antaeotricha tempestiva” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Antaeotricha, tempestiva and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 9, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q22286110. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
