Ardozyga pyrrhica is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1919. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are reddish brown. The stigmata are obsolete, but there is a fine fuscous line on the apical half of the costa interrupted by several minute whitish-ochreous dots. A dark-fuscous apical spot gives off a fine line along the upper part of the termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
