Male genitalia with long and thin costa, well-developed sacculus sclerotized conspicuously on dorsal margin, free distal process present, saccus broad and short. Wing pattern easily distinguished from Cholius Guenée by typical scopariine pattern. Male genitalia slightly disparted from other Chinese genera Micraglossa Warren, Eudonia Billberg and Dasyscopa Meyrick by developed sacculus and free distal process, from Hoenia Leraut by broad and short saccus, from Caradjaina Leraut by thin and long costa. General characters. Adult (Fig. 1): Forewing length 5 – 12 mm. Dorsal side of body usually covered with grey to brown scales, ventral side usually scaled white, sometimes tinged with pale brown. Head globular; frons flat. Ocellus and chaetosema present. Labial palpus porrect, with long downwards scales on ventral side of first and second segments. Maxillary palpus upright, distally brushlike. Antenna scaled dorsally, ciliated white ventrally. Forewing ground colour usually white, covered with grey, black and some ochreous scales; proximal discoidal stigma and cubital stigma placed on distal of antemedian line (collectively called antemedian stigmata); distal discoidal stigma X- or 8 - shaped, usually connected with spot at costa; postmedian line usually bent towards distal discoidal stigma, then curved outwards; subterminal line generally incurved, meeting postmedian line, nearly X-shaped. Hindwing white to pale brown. Tympanal organ (Fig. 2): Bulla tympani open, bean-shaped, inner margin usually convex anteriorly and concave posteriorly. Praecinctorium well developed. Tympanum and conjunctivum forming an angle. Pons tympani slender, usually reaching beyond posterior margin of first tergite. Lobulus well developed. Fornix tympani broad. Saccus tympani broad, rounded, usually extending to half of second sternite. Venula secunda reduced or absent. Male genitalia (Fig. 3): Uncus usually narrowly triangular or ovate. Gnathos at base two-armed, attached to articulation of uncus and tegumen, distally often slender. Valva ovate, with various shape, setose, with a conspicuously developed sacculus, broad basally, tapering to free distal process. Juxta usually ovate, individually V-shaped. Saccus usually rounded anteriorly. Phallus varied in length and diameter; opening of ductus ejaculatorius anteriorly; cornutus different in number and shape. Female genitalia (Fig. 4): Papilla anale broad and short, setose. Apophysis posterior and apophysis anterior long and thin. Tergite eight usually shorter than apophysis anterior. Ductus bursae varied in length, diameter and shape; ductus seminalis arising anterior to colliculum. Corpus bursae rounded or ovate; signum present or absent, if present, composed of granules; appendix bursae present or absent, if present, situated at anterior margin of corpus bursae.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

039AE4570928FF9EFF70BB32FBC0A415.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Larvae are known to feed on mosses and herbaceous seed plants. They have the habit of spinning silken web and staying at the web when not feeding (Pimpl 1988; Bland 1987; Heckford 2009). Adults of Scoparia are nocturnal and can be attracted by artificial lights.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

039AE4570928FF9EFF70BB32FBC0A415.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Sineudonia Leraut, 1986 syn. n. is here synonymized with Scoparia Haworth, 1811 because its type species Sineudonia brunnea Leraut, 1986 is transferred to this genus (see Scoparia brunnea (Leraut, 1986) comb. n.). All the members of the genus of Scoparia bear a long and thin costa, have a well-developed sacculus with conspicuously sclerotized dorsal margin and a free distal process, and have a broad and short saccus in the male genitalia. The new species are assigned to this genus based on the above characters. All these characters are regarded as potential synapomorphies of the genus through our own observation.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

This species varies in the male genitalia: the distal part of the uncus varies from short to conspicuously elongate; the cornuti usually consist of two groups of long spines, but some individuals have one group of cornuti consisting of small spines, which are easily obscured by the large spines. Scoparia spinata is here recorded for the first time in Thailand.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

Scoparia metaleucalis is similar to S. spinata in the female genitalia by the semicircular protuberance of the colliculum, but can be disparted by the protuberance arising from the anterior margin of the colliculum; whereas the protuberance of S. spinata arises from the middle of the colliculum. In male genitalia, S. metaleucalis is conspicuously different from S. spinata by the ovate uncus, the ventrobasally convex sacculus and the cornuti consisting of a row of small spines and a cluster of large spines, the latter surrounded with many tiny spines; whereas in S. spinata, the uncus is triangular, the sacculus is straight ventrobasally, the phallus bears two clusters of cornuti, neither of them surrounded with any tiny spine.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

039AE4570921FF91FF70BD10FD7CA600.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Scoparia brunnea was described based on two female specimens deposited in MINGA, which were investigated in this study. Sineudonia brunnea brunnea and S. brunnea hoenei possess all the general characters of Scoparia in the wing pattern (Forewing ground colour white, covered with pale brown scales; transverse fasciae white, postmedian line dentated towards distal discoidal stigma and forming an X together with subterminal line; stigmata blackish brown, antemedian stigmata streaklike, distal discoidal stigma Xshaped and connected with spot at costa. Hindwing white, slightly brown at termen) and in female genitalia (Papilla anale triangular, as long as apophysis posterior; tergite eight about two fifths length of apophysis anterior; ductus bursae thin and long, bended in S shape anterior to colliculum; corpus bursae ovate, with one larger and one smaller signum, composed of granules; appendix bursae ovate, arising from anterior margin of corpus bursae). Their wing pattern and female genitalia resemble those of Scoparia congestalis very much. Thus, we here transfer the two taxa to Scoparia.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.

This species is similar to S. tohokuensis by the convex costa and free distal process nearly reaching the apex of the valva in the male genitalia. It can be distinguished from S. tohokuensis by the posterior half of the juxta dividing into two branches and the phallus bearing more than twenty cornuti in the male genitalia; the colliculum longer than half length of the ductus bursae, and the ductus bursae curving three times in the female genitalia. In S. tohokuensis, the juxta is long ovate, and the phallus has a single cornutus; the colliculum is about one fourth as long as the ductus bursae, and the ductus bursae is curved once.	en	Li, Weichun, Li, Houhun, Nuss, Matthias (2010): Taxonomic revision of Scoparia Haworth, 1811 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Scopariinae) from China.
