Scrobipalpa fusca is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Bidzilya and Li in 2010. It is found in China (Xinjiang), Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and south-eastern Kazakhstan.[1]

The wingspan is 9.5–10.5 mm. The forewings are covered with light grey, brown or ochreous-tipped scales, sparsely mottled dark. The hindwings are grey. Adults are on wing from the end of April to July.

Etymology

The species name refers to the uniform brown forewings and is derived from Latin fuscus (meaning dark, brown).[2]
