Scoparia epigypsa is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Oswald Bertram Lower in 1902. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are cinereous (ash-grey) fuscous, strongly suffused with white. The lines are fuscous and there is a fuscous discal spot, as well as two oblique fuscous marks on the costa near the apex. There is a row of connected fuscous dots along the termen. The hindwings are light fuscous, becoming grey whitish on the basal half. Adults have been recorded on wing in September.[2]
