Ardozyga pelogenes is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria and Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is 12-13 mm. The forewings are pale-fuscous finely irrorated with dark-fuscous and with dark-fuscous markings, often indistinct. There is a discal dot at one-fourth, a second beyond it on the fold, a third in the disc beyond the middle, and a fourth immediately beneath and beyond the third, sometimes confluent with it. There is also a submarginal series of dots around the apex and termen. The hindwings are pale-grey.[2]
