Cucullia omissa is a species of owlet moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Dod in 1916. It is distributed across central and northern North America, with records from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, as well as the northeastern United States (Vermont). The species is one of approximately 100 recognized species in the genus Cucullia, a group of moths commonly known as 'falconers' due to their streamlined, aerodynamic appearance in flight.
