Scoparia rigidalis is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1912.[1] It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Arizona.[2]
The wingspan is about 22 mm. The forewings are purplish-brown, shaded with light grey in the median area. The basal third of the wing is the darkest and is defined outwardly by a pale line from the costa to near the middle of the inner margin. The subterminal line is pale and the terminal area is shaded with black-brown with a terminal row of black dots. The hindwings are smoky, paler towards the base and with a discal dot and traces of a pale subterminal line.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from August to September.
