Ardozyga euprepta is a species of moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Turner in 1933. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 18 mm (0.71 in). The forewings are white with fuscous markings. There are four costal dots, sub-basal, at one-sixth, the middle, and two-thirds. There is also a broad streak on the dorsum from near the base to beyond the middle and a large oval outwardly oblique spot in the disc before the middle, its lower and outer end confluent with the dorsal streak. There is a large tornal blotch, connected with the costa at five-sixths and a suffused spot on the mid-termen, as well as a blackish terminal line. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous with a large pale fuscous apical blotch.[2]
