Scoparia halopis is a moth in the family Crambidae.^[1] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1909.^[2]^[3] It is endemic to New Zealand,^[4] where it has been recorded as far south as the Auckland Islands.

New Zealand lepidopterist Brian Patrick notes that "when I was young growing up in Invercargill, I reared an adult from larvae found in soil - so probably a sod webworm by lifestyle."^[5] According to Patrick, this species is "common and widely distributed from sub-Antarctic northwards in both natural and suburban settings" in New Zealand.^[5]

Adults are attracted to light and have been collected via a mercury vapour light trap.^[6]
