Scoparia acharis is a moth of the family Crambidae. It was named by Edward Meyrick in 1884. Meyrick gave a description of the species in 1885. This species is endemic to New Zealand.
Description
The wingspan is 17.5 mm. The forewings are whitish-ochreous, irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous. There is a sharply defined oblique black spot from the base of the costa. The first line is indicated only by an obscure dark posterior margin, followed on the costa by a sharply-defined moderate triangular black spot. The terminal area is suffused with brownish-ochreous and there is a cloudy, ochreous-whitish subterminal line with a row of ochreous-whitish marks. The hindwings are very pale whitish grey.
Adults have been recorded on wing in January.
