Scopula benenotata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It was described by Prout in 1932. It is endemic to Madagascar.[2]
This species is similar to Scopula latitans Prout, 1920 in structure. The forewings are a little narrower with more oblique termen, the colouring is warmer – a pinkish buff or light pinkish cinnamon, and it has larger cell-dots. The male of this species has a wingspan of 26 millimetres (1.0 in).[3]
