Scythris sacharissa is a moth of the family Scythrididae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1913. It is found in South Africa.[1]

The wingspan is about 13 mm. The forewings are rather dark grey with a broad rosy-ochreous-whitish median longitudinal streak from the base to the termen, emitting a fine line beneath from beyond its middle. The veins on the costal area above this are marked by fine rosy-ochreous-whitish lines and there are similar indistinct dorsal and subdorsal lines, confluent towards the base, but becoming obsolete posteriorly. The hindwings are rather dark grey, darker posteriorly.[2]
