Scoparia stenopa is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by 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 light fuscous, strongly irrorated with whitish and with obscure blackish lines. There is a suffused blackish streak along the fold and the lower edge of the cell is edged by a fine ferruginous line. There is also an elongate whitish mark in the cell, as well as some short black elongate lines towards the termen and apex and a row of suffused blackish spots along the termen. The hindwings are grey-whitish, becoming somewhat darker towards the termen. Adults have been recorded on wing in April.[2]
