Stigmella birgittae is a moth of the Nepticulidae family. It was described by Gustafsson in 1985. It is known from Gambia, Oman and Saudi Arabia.[1]
The wingspan is 3.6-4.1 mm for males.
The larvae feed on Ziziphus mauritania and Ziziphus spina-christi. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a gallery, but frequently also forms a small blotch through coalescence of the windings. The frass is deposited in a narrow central line. The larva are yellowish green. When they leave the mine, they make a slit in the upper surface.
