Ardozyga trochias is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, with scattered dark fuscous specks and with small blackish dots on the costa at the base and one-sixth. The stigmata are dark fuscous, the discal small, the plical forming a small spot rather obliquely beyond the first discal. There is a roundish fuscous blotch above the tornus, and a rather smaller one at the apex, the apex itself dark fuscous. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
