Anomis vulpicolor is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. It is endemic to the Hawaiian islands of Oahu, Molokai and Hawaii.[1] The larvae have been found to feed on Osteomeles anthyllidifolia. The caterpillar is characterised by four pairs of abdominal prolegs.[1]
The species is considered likely extinct, with the last sighting occurring before 1960.[2][3]
