Argyresthia aureoargentella is a moth of the Yponomeutidae family. It is found in North America, including Ontario and Quebec.[1]

Adults are whitish. They are on wing from early June to late July. There is one generation per year.[2]

The larvae feed on Thuja occidentalis. They mine the leaves of their host plant. Pupation takes place in a whitish, spindle-shaped cocoon that is located outside the mine on the foliage.[3]
