Oncopera fasciculatus, the underground grassgrub, is a moth of the Hepialidae family endemic to South Australia and Victoria. The fore wings are brown with a pattern of dark splotches. The hind wings are plain brown. The larvae live in vertical tunnels in the soil. They emerge at night to feed on the leaves of grasses in native and sown pastures.
