Ardozyga cosmotis 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 13–15 mm (0.51–0.59 in). The forewings are grey or greyish-ochreous, irregularly mixed with white and sprinkled with black and with a small ochreous-orange basal patch. The stigmata are moderate, blackish, more or less accompanied with white, the plical very obliquely beyond the first discal, and with a similar dot between and above the first and second discal, the second discal followed by a white spot containing two black specks. The posterior half of the costa is marked with alternate dark and whitish spots. The hindwings are grey or whitish-grey.[2]
