Voliba scoparialis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Walker in 1866. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

Adults are cinereous, the wings with two undulating brown lines, of which the second is much bent in the forewings. There is a brownish tinge about the exterior border. The forewings have a reniform mark forming an oblong ringlet, which emits a short line to the costa.[2]
