Ardozyga tetralychna is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria and New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is about 17 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous, with a slight purplish tinge and a small yellow-ochreous spot at the base in the middle. The stigmata are small, white, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a row of small white dots around the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are grey.[2]
