Anomis privata, the hibiscus-leaf caterpillar moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1865.[2] It is found in China,[3] Taiwan and Japan, but has also been recorded from North America,[1] as most verified sightings [4] have been in the northeastern United States.

The larvae feed on the leaves of Hibiscus species,[5] while adult moths feed by sipping the syrup and juices from various wild berries such as blackberry, blueberry, elderberry and poke berry.
