Ardozyga aeolopis 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 New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are pale greyish-ochreous, irrorated with dark fuscous and with five costal spots of blackish irroration (speckles) from the base to beyond three-fourths and three clear discal patches of whitish suffusion surrounded with pale ochreous at one-third, two-thirds, and four-fifths, the first and second followed by blackish spots on the fold, the second and third connected in the disc by an elongate blackish mark. There is a blackish dorsal mark towards the base and an irregular streak of blackish suffusion along the termen. The hindwings are dark fuscous, with an irregular transparent patch towards the base.[2]
