Voliba scoparialis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1866. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from New South Wales.[1]

Adults are cinereous (ash grey), the wings with two undulating brown lines, of which the second is much bent in the forewings. There is a brownish tinge about the exterior border. The forewings have a reniform mark forming an oblong ringlet, which emits a short line to the costa.[2]
