Ardozyga actinota 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 Western Australia.[1]
The wingspan is 16–18 mm (0.63–0.71 in). The forewings are fuscous irrorated (speckled) with white and veins two to twelve marked with more or less indistinct blackish streaks. A stronger black streak is found along the fold from the base to two-thirds and the discal stigmata are moderate, blackish, with a black white-edged longitudinal dash lying between them. The hindwings are grey, paler towards base.[2]
