Scoparia fumata is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is endemic in New Zealand.
Taxonomy
It was described by Alfred Philpott in 1915. However the placement of this species within the genus Scoparia is in doubt. As a result, this species has also been referred to as Scoparia (s.l.) fumata.
