Antitype is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family.

The scientific name is derived from the Greek antitupos (something that returns). Hübner probably referred to similarities with a genus which was described earlier, probably Polymixis.

Antitype kalchbergi is now known as Brachygalea kalchbergi (Staudinger, 1897).
