Ardozyga arganthes 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 Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white, with a few fuscous scales and with the markings fuscous mixed with blackish. There is a narrow straight basal fascia and an oblique mark on the costa at one-fifth. The stigmata are rather large, irregular, with the plical somewhat beyond the first discal, confluent with a blotch on the middle of the dorsum, an additional dot between and above the first and second discal, confluent with a blotch on the costa before the middle, and an additional dot beneath the second discal, confluent with a broad irregular suffused subterminal fascia. The hindwings are grey.[2]
