Scoparia trapezophora is a moth of the Crambidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1885. It is found in New Zealand.
The wingspan is about 21 mm. The forewings are pale whitish-ochreous, with an oblong blackish spot from the base of the costa, reaching more than half across wing. There is a large sharply defined blackish blotch, extending along the costa, reaching only half across the wing. The inner margin is suffused with whitish. The second line is white and dark-margined and the terminal area is irrorated with dark fuscous, especially towards the costa. The subterminal line is cloudy whitish. The hindwings are grey-whitish. The postmedian line and hindmargin are somewhat darker. Adults have been recorded on wing in January.[2]
