Ardozyga pelogramma 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 Victoria.[1]

The wingspan is 16-19 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous densely irrorated with dark fuscous and with a moderate irregular pale reddish-ochreous longitudinal streak above the middle from the base to near the apex, irregularly streaked with white, the upper edge ill-defined, with three anteriorly oblique wedge-shaped projections almost reaching the costal edge on the anterior half, the lower edge well-defined, at first straight, then with two semi-oval indentations representing the large discal stigmata, and an irregular indentation between them. There is an elongate whitish dot on the fold about the middle, and a short pale ochreous dash towards the tornus. The hindwings are grey, darker posteriorly, near the base paler and thinly scaled.[2]
