Scrobipalpa dagmaris is a moth in the Gelechiidae family. It was described by Povolný in 1987. It is found in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan nad Mongolia.[1] Although the type location is northern Italy,[2] the species is probably not found in Europe. The type location was probably mistakenly given as Italy.[3]

The length of the forewings is about 6 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is brownish with well defined blackish markings. The hindwings are dirty whitish, with greyish margins.[4]

The larvae feed on Haloxylon persicum.
