Scoparia atricuprea is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1917. It is found in South America (including Colombia) and on the Antilles (including Jamaica).[1]
The wingspan is 16–20 mm. The forewings are black-brown with a cupreous gloss and irrorated with bluish white scales. The antemedial line is white and there is a minute white spot in the middle of the cell and an obscure band of blue-white irroration beyond it. The postmedial line is blue-white and there is a blue-white subapical patch and a series of dark cupreous brown spots before a slight waved white terminal line. The hindwings are white tinged with reddish brown, especially on the terminal area.[2]
