Ardozyga chionoprora is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1927. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Tasmania.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish-brown partly suffused with fuscous-brown and with four oblique dark-fuscous streaks from the costa. The first at the base, very short, the second sub-basal, the third from one-third and the fourth from the middle, prolonged subcostally by a very fine dark-fuscous line to the apex. There is a fine blackish line along the fold to the middle, with some fuscous suffusion on its dorsal side. There is also a short longitudinal blackish discal streak beyond the middle and a subterminal blackish line. The hindwings are grey.[2]
