Hoploscopa is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Heliothelinae of the family Crambidae.[2] The genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886, with Hoploscopa astrapias as type species.[1]

A recent taxonomic study using morphology and DNA data described an additional 26 species,[3] so that the genus currently comprises 42 species.[1] At least 30 more species await scientific description.[3]

The caterpillars are reported to feed on ferns.[3][4]
