We record the first Nepticulidae species found to feed on Baccharis L. (Asteraceae). Despite the high species richness of Baccharis in the Western Hemisphere, no nepticulid has ever been recorded feeding on Baccharis. In this paper we describe six new Stigmella Schrank species feeding on Baccharis: S. emarginatae Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov., S. bipartita Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov., S. tripartita Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov., S. latifoliae Remeikis, Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov., S. baccharicola Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov., and S. confertae Di\škus \& Stonis, sp. nov. The remaining two taxa are left unnamed. All taxa are illustrated with photographs of adults, their genitalia, and their leaf-mines. Additionally, leaf-mines on Baccharis salicifolia are documented.
