Stigmella aigialeia is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It is found in New Zealand.
The length of the forewings is about 2 mm. Adults have been recorded in January, February, September and October. Probably in one but possibly in two generations per year.
The larvae feed on Plagianthus divaricatus. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine consists of a small gallery gradually filling all space between leaf cuticles. Larvae have been recorded in April, May and September. They are pale yellow and about 3 mm long. The cocoons are made of brown silk on the ground.
