Ardozyga tetraploa is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria.[1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with a very broad ochreous-white transverse fascia extending from near the base to one-third and with an ochreous-white costal dot beyond the middle, as well as a rather narrow ochreous-white inwards-curved fascia from two-thirds of the costa to before the tornus. The hindwings are grey, darker towards apex.[2]
