Ardozyga hylias 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 whitish, irrorated with dark fuscous and with five black costal spots from the base to three-fourths and three elongate black spots arranged along the fold, and three in a discal series obliquely beyond these respectively. There is a blackish dorsal mark near the base. The hindwings are grey, paler and thinly scaled towards the base.[2]
