Ardozyga thyrsoptera 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 Queensland. [1]

The wingspan is about 14 mm (0.55 in). The forewings are pale fuscous, irregularly mixed with darker and with a pale basal patch, its edge running from two-fifths of the costa to the dorsum near the base, enclosing small dark fuscous costal spots at the base and one-fifth. Beyond this a transverse dark fuscous spot from the costa, terminating beneath in two divergent slender partially white-edged arms, terminated and connected on the fold by a blackish streak produced anteriorly to the basal patch. There is a short black elongate mark in the disc above the middle and a rather ill-defined black longitudinal streak from the middle of the disc to the termen beneath the apex, with an interrupted branch to the costa above the apex and a cloudy white dot resting on this representing the second discal stigma. There is also a series of small dark fuscous spots separated by whitish dots on the posterior half of the costa and an interrupted whitish dark-edged terminal line. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the apex. [2]
