Scopula mollicula is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found on Madagascar.[2]
This species is similar to Scopula caducaria (Swinhoe, 1904) in size, shape and coloration but less glossy. Both wings bear a strong cell-dot, median and postmedian lines of the forewings are placed more distally than in S.caducaria.[3]
