Ardozyga xestolitha 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 19 mm. The forewings are shining light bronzy-fuscous, suffused with brownish-ochreous towards the base, somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous. The stigmata are small, dark fuscous, rather nearly approximated, the plical rather obliquely beyond the first discal, a similar dot nearly midway between the second discal and the dorsum. The hindwings are light grey, towards the base whitish-tinged.[2]
