Sarisophora leucoscia is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It is found in Australia (including Queensland) and New Zealand.
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are whitish suffused with fuscous, leaving the basal costal area, a median streak, and much of the central area whitish. There is a broad rounded dark-fuscous dorsal patch from near the base to beyond the middle. The discal spots are dark-fuscous, the first discal at one-third, the second discal just beyond the middle, the plical included in the dorsal patch. A dark-fuscous subcostal line is found from the base to one-fourth and there are some dark fuscous scales on the postmedian veins. The hindwings are pale grey.
