Ardozyga amblopis is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are whitish, densely irrorated (speckled) with dark fuscous and with indistinct blackish spots along the costa, alternating with smaller pale reddish-ochreous spots, and edged beneath with irregular ferruginous spots. There are elongate blackish spots in the disc before and beyond the middle, separated by a pale reddish-ochreous spot. There is also a blackish streak along the fold, interrupted by a pale reddish-ochreous spot in the middle and there is some undefined pale reddish-ochreous suffusion towards the apex. The hindwings are fuscous, with an irregular transparent basal patch.[2]
