Scoparia meyrickii is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1882. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria, [1] New South Wales and South Australia.

The wingspan is about 26 mm. The forewings are greyish brown with black streaks between the veins. The basal four-fifths is speckled with large white scales. The hindwings are grey with a blackish marginal area. The costal border is white. [2]

Adults can be found on the trunks of fibrous-barked Eucalyptus species in November and December. It is probable that the larvae feed in the bark of these trees. [3]
