Ardozyga irobela is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1947. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Western Australia.[1]

The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are whitish with very scanty fuscous irroration (speckling). The stigmata are minute, fuscous, the first discal at one-third, the plical beyond it, the second discal before two-thirds. There are some fuscous dots on the termen and apical two-fifths of the costa. The hindwings are whitish.[2]
