Diagnosis. Belongs to the S. pandora group. The combination of large pale speckled forewing, long processes of transtilla, large plate of gnathos with closely juxtaposed processes, and specific set of cornuti distinguishes S. pandora from all other Stigmella species.

Female. Similar to male.

Male genitalia. Illustrated in Stonis et al. 2016d: figs 145–150.

Female genitalia. Illustrated in Stonis et al. 2016d: figs 145–150.

Bionomics Adults fly in January–February. Otherwise biology unknown.

Distribution ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ). This species occurs in the high Peruvian Andes ( Peru: Ancash Departamento and Lima Departamento) at altitudes 4000–4100 m ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 8 ).
