The Old World species of the genus Scrobipalpula Povolny, 1964 are reviewed, with special reference to central and northern European taxa. Altogether 4 species, namely S. psilella (Herrich-Schäffer, 1854), S. ramosella (Müller-Rutz, 1934) sp. rev., S. diffluella (Frey, 1870) and S. tussilaginis (Stainton, 1867) are accepted as valid. Adults and genitalia of both sexes are figured. S. retusella (Rebel, 1891) syn. n., comb. n. is a new synonym of S. tussilaginis (Stainton, 1867). S. psilella f. compositella Povolny, 1964 is an invalid species-group name, as are the nomina nuda astericolellum Hering, 1957, ptarmicae Hering, 1957 and uniflorellum Hering, 1957. The lectotype designation of Aristotelia imperatella Dumont, 1931 by Viette (1951) is rejected and this taxon is transferred from Scrobipalpula to Ephysteris Meyrick, 1908.
