Kiwaia cheradias is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1909. It is found in New Zealand.[1]
The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are light ochreous-brown, suffusedly irrorated with whitish, tending to leave a more or less clear longitudinal median streak of ground colour. There is a blackish mark on the fold towards the base. The discal stigmata are rather large and black, the plical represented by a dark fuscous or brown cloud, very obliquely before the first discal. There are several cloudy blackish or dark fuscous dots on the posterior part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey.[2]
