Scrobipalpa vicaria is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1921. It is found in Spain, as well as on Malta, Crete and the Canary Islands.[1] Outside of Europe, it is found in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Namibia and South Africa.[2]
The wingspan is about 10 mm (0.39 in). The forewings are ochreous-brown suffusedly irrorated with fuscous, tinged with orange beneath the costa anteriorly. There is a small blackish spot on the costa at one-fourth and sometimes one in the middle. The stigmata are blackish, the plical obliquely before the first discal. There is an obscure lighter angulated transverse shade at three-fourth, the extremities preceded by some blackish irroration. There is also a suffused blackish spot in the disc beyond this, and cloudy dots around the apical part of the costa and termen. The hindwings are light grey, paler and bluish-tinged in the disc.[3]
