Ancylophyes villosa is a species of moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in northern Argentina.

The ground colour of the forewings is brownish, suffused with green in the dorsal and terminal halves and along the costa. The hindwings are rather dark and brown, but paler basally. Adults have been recorded on wing in December.

Etymology

The species name refers to the dense vestiture (hairs) of the pulvinus and is derived from Latin villosa (meaning shaggy).[2]
