Ardozyga bistrigata is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from southern Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous largely suffused light brown-reddish and with a line of dark grey scales almost on the costa towards the base. There is a small group of black scales just below the costa before the middle, and two others similarly placed midway between this and the apex. A black streak is found along the basal half of the fold, and an irregular thicker streak in the disc from before the middle to five-sixths. There are also three or four strigulae of irregular black scales along the termen and at the apex, as well as a white marginal line around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are subhyaline whitish with suffused grey streaks along the veins, and a broad terminal band of grey suffusion.[2]
