Scythropiodes malivora is a moth in the Lecithoceridae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1930. It is found in Korea, Japan (Honshu, Hiroshima), China (Manchuria) and the Russian Far East.[1]

The wingspan is 23-28 mm. The forewings are light ochreous, slightly deeper posteriorly. The discal stigmata are dark fuscous, the plical minute and fuscous, midway between the discal. The hindwings are whitish-ochreous.[2]
