Ardozyga pelogramma is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1904. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded in Victoria.[1]
It has a wingspan of 16–19 mm (0.63–0.75 in). The forewings are whitish-gray densely covered in small dark gray-brown spots 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]
