Ardozyga trichosema 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 Western Australia.[1]

The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale fuscous, mixed with whitish towards the dorsum and posteriorly, and with a few dark fuscous scales, as well as a very broad irregular-edged white costal streak from the base to five-sixths, partially limited beneath by a black plical streak from near the base to the middle, and another connecting two discal stigmata, and with some dark fuscous scales round its apex. The hindwings are grey.[2]
