Dysoptus sparsimaculatus is a species of moth in the family Arrhenophanidae. It is known only from three montane sites in northern Venezuela.
The length of the forewings is 4.6–5 mm for males. Adults are on wing in January, April and August.
The specific name is derived from the Latin sparsus (few, rare) and maculata (spotted, marked), in reference to this species' almost immaculate wing pattern.
Arrhenophaninae is a subfamily of moths in family Psychidae. It was once recognised as a family, but has been found deeply nested in Psychidae in phylogenetic studies.
