Ardozyga mesochra is a species of moth of the Gelechiidae family. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland,[1] New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.[2]
The wingspan is 11–16 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, faintly yellowish-tinged and with four or five fine oblique dark fuscous marks on the costa, usually very small, sometimes connected or absorbed into a moderate streak extending from near the base to five-sixths. There is a broad rather dark fuscous streak along the dorsum and termen to the apex, the upper edge irregular, more or less marked with blackish, variably prominent at one-third, two-thirds, and near the apex, and indented between these. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly.[3]
