Ardozyga orthanotos is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Lower in 1900. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, partly mixed with pale ochreous, with some scattered fuscous and dark fuscous scales. There are indications of dark fuscous marks on the costa at one-fifth and two-fifths and there is a somewhat undefined black streak along the fold from the base to two-fifths, and another in the disc from above the apex of this to three-fourths. There are also some blackish scales about the apex. The hindwings are dark fuscous, somewhat lighter towards the tips, towards the dorsum ochreous-tinged and with a short transparent streak from the middle of the base.[2]
