Scoparia leuconota is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from South Australia.[1]
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The forewings are ash-grey, whitish with blackish lines and a white, black-edged, roundish spot below the costa. Similar spots are found at the posterior extremity of the cell and there is a row of fine black dots along the termen. The hindwings are light fuscous, becoming darker along the terminal half. Adults have been recorded on wing in June.[2]
