Ardozyga catarrhacta 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 9 mm (0.35 in). The forewings are shining whitish-ochreous with five oblique dark fuscous marks or spots on the costa, the basal minute, the others larger posteriorly, last two confluent. There is a broad dark fuscous dorsal streak from the base to the tornus, with the extremities pointed and the upper edge projecting at one-fourth and more strongly at two-thirds. There is also a dark fuscous spot along the termen beneath the apex. The hindwings are whitish-grey.[2]
