Scrobipalpa flavimaculata is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Bidzilya and Li in 2010. It is found in China (Qinghai).

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are yellowish-white, with two diffused yellow spots at the base of the cell and a prolonged yellow spot at the corner of the cell, as well as brown scales along the costal margin. The hindwings are light grey. Adults are on wing in late July.

Etymology

The species name refers to the yellow spots on forewings and is derived from Latin flavus (meaning yellow) and maculatus (meaning spot).
