Tenthredo scrophulariae, the figwort sawfly, is a species of the family Tenthredinidae, subfamily Tenthredininae.

The flagellum of the antennae is not narrowed on the tip, it is quite short (less than twice as long as the head width) compared to many related species.

[5] The leading edge of the forewings, including the veins, is intense orange-red colored, while the remaining wing-membrane is transparent pale yellowish, gray tinted towards the tip.

[11][12] They also occur on Buddleja and on black mullein (Verbascum nigrum), where they feed only on the less hairy, older leaves.

[13] The larvae are parasitized by various parasitoid species of Ichneumonidae (Mesoleptidea prosoleuca and Euceros serricornis).
