Anomis flava
cotton looper, tropical anomis, white-pupiled scallop moth
Anomis flava is a widespread moth species in the family Erebidae, first described by Fabricius in 1775. It is known by multiple common names reflecting its agricultural significance (cotton looper), geographic range (tropical anomis), and distinctive eye morphology (white-pupiled scallop moth). The species has a broad distribution spanning tropical and subtropical regions across Asia, Africa, Australasia, Pacific Islands, and North America (as the subspecies A. flava fimbriago). It is primarily recognized as a pest of cotton and other malvaceous plants.
