Scoparia leuconota 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 ashy-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]
