Scoparia dryphactis is a moth in the family Crambidae.[1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1911.[2][3] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[4][5]

The wingspan is 30–31 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous, tinged with brownish or mixed with light fuscous and somewhat sprinkled with dark fuscous on the veins. There is a broad streak of dark-fuscous suffusion along the costa, as well as a short ferruginous streak from the base on the fold which is surrounded with dark-fuscous suffusion. The lines are cloudy, pale and edged with fuscous suffusion. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous, tinged with grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in February.[2]
