Turatia scioneura is a moth in the Autostichidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1929. It is found in Sudan.

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are whitish sprinkled light grey, appearing grey-whitish. There is an undefined median streak of grey suffusion from near the base to one-fourth and some fuscous sprinkling from this along the fold. The discal stigmata form small elongate spots of blackish irroration, with slight streaks of fuscous irroration along the upper edge of the cell between these, and along the veins between this and the costa. The hindwings are whitish-grey.
