Scirpophaga xanthogastrella is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863. [1] It is found in Taiwan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. [2]

The wingspan is 22–30 mm for males and 27–36 mm for females.

The larvae possibly feed on Tripidium arundinaceum (syn. Saccharum arundinaceum) and Saccharum spontaneum , but these records may be based on a misindentification. [3]
