Phthonerodes scotarcha is a moth in the family Xyloryctidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1890. It is found in Australia, [1] where it has been recorded from New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia.

The wingspan is 17–18.8 mm for males and 17.6-22.4 mm for females. The forewings are fuscous, densely irrorated (sprinkled) with blackish fuscous and with a straight white dark-margined longitudinal line from the base below the middle, more or less nearly approaching the hindmargin above the anal angle, but suffused and indistinct posteriorly, interrupted by a small dark fuscous spot in the middle. The hindwings are light yellow, sometimes with some fuscous scales at the extreme apex. [2]
