Scoparia parca is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Taxonomy
This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1928. 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.) panopla.

The veins are outlined in black and there is a subterminal series of black spots. The hindwings are pale whitish-grey. Adults have been recorded on wing in November.
