Scoparia harpalea is a moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It is endemic to New Zealand. [1]
This species was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884 as Xeroscopa harpalea. [2] Meyrick gave a description of this species in 1885. [3] In 1913 Meyrick revised the genus of the species to Scoparia, [4] and in 1928 George Vernon Hudson agreed with this revision. [5] John S. Dugdale summarised this taxonomy in his 1988 publication but misspelt the epithet of this species as harpalaea. [6] The wing patterns and male genitalia of holotypes of this species and Scoparia limatula have been examined and have been found to be identical. [7]
The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are white, irrorated with ochreous-grey. The veins are marked with blackish. The hindwings are very pale greyish-ochreous, the postmedian line and apex are grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in January. [3]
