Ardozyga voluta

Ardozyga voluta 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 10-11 mm. The forewings are white, somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous and with the costal edge ochreous-tinged. There are slight dark fuscous costal marks at one-fifth and before the middle and a rounded-triangular dark fuscous blotch darker and more sharply defined on the upper half, extending along the dorsum from one-sixth to beyond the middle, and reaching two-thirds across the wing. There is also a broad rather dark fuscous fascia from three-fourths of the costa to the tornus, enclosing two pale ochreous costal dots, the anterior edge undefined, concave, the posterior edge sharper and straight. A dark fuscous terminal line is extended around the apex. The hindwings are whitish-fuscous, with the terminal half light fuscous.^[2]
