''Stathmopoda auriferella'' is a species of moth in the Stathmopodidae family. It is found in the Oriental and Afrotropical regions. In the Palearctic it is only found in subtropical areas such as the Middle East and the Russian Far East.

The wingspan is 9–13 mm. Adults are on wing from June to December. There are probably two to three generations per year.

The larvae live in silk spinnings on a wide range of rotting plants, although they are also found on living wounded.. more
