Antipterna assulosa is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae, first described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1940 as Machaeretis assulosa.[1][2] The species epithet, assulosa, derives from the Latin adjective, assulosus ("like a splinter").[2] The holotype for Machaeretis assulosa was collected at Sandgate in Queensland.[1]
