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

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are light brownish-ochreous, on the costal half suffusedly irrorated fuscous, between the stigmata and on the terminal area sprinkled whitish, the dorsal area beneath the fold suffused whitish. The discal stigmata are variably indicated by irregular dark-fuscous irroration, approximated, with the plical black, somewhat before the first discal. The costa posteriorly and termen are sprinkled dark fuscous. The hindwings are pale grey or grey-whitish.[2]
