Scoparia sinuata is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is endemic to New Zealand.
Taxonomy
This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1930. 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.) sinuata.

The second line is also white and there is a subterminal whitish shade. The hindwings are very pale ochreous, clouded with brown. Adults have been recorded on wing in February.
