Ardozyga crotalodes 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 Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous, sprinkled with dark fuscous and with small dark fuscous costal spots at the base and one-sixth. The stigmata are fuscous, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal, an additional dot between and above the discal. There is a dark fuscous costal mark before two-thirds, and indistinct dark fuscous dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
