Kiwaia aerobatis is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1924. It is found in New Zealand. [1]

The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are rather light brownish, darker towards base. There is a rather broad whitish costal streak nearly from the base to two-thirds, narrowed near the base, the posterior extremity suffused, with a slender suffused dark-grey streak on the costal edge from before the middle of the wing to two-thirds. The discal stigmata are rather elongate, dark fuscous, touching the lower edge of the whitish streak, the plical slightly marked or obsolete, somewhat before the first discal. There is some fuscous irroration (sprinkling) running from the second discal to beneath the apex and the costa posteriorly and termen are interruptedly lined fuscous. The hindwings are light grey.
