Eupithecia scabrogata is a moth in the Geometridae family. It is found from British Columbia to California and Arizona.
The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are smoky brown with obscure cross lines.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from November to March and in May, possibly representing a second generation.
The larvae feed on the flowers of Arbutus pungens.[4] They are cryptically patterned and colored to match the flowers of their host plant.
