Diagnosis. Scoparia ancipitella is unique by the genitalia. It can be easily distinguished from its congeners by the strong spinelike cornuti in the male genitalia as well as by the protruding and spinulose medial part at one side of the ductus bursae in the female genitalia.
Distribution. China (Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Jilin, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xinjiang); Europe.
Remarks. This Eurasian species is very similar, if not conspecific, to S. submolestalis Inoue, 1982 according to the figures provided by Inoue (1982: pl. 301 fig. 6) and Sasaki (1992: figs. 9, 11). Further investigation remains necessary to study the status of these two taxa. It is recorded here for the first time in China.
