Holophysis anoma is a moth of the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Walsingham in 1910. It is found in Mexico (Vera Cruz, Tabasco). [1]

The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are dull leaden grey at the base, becoming more shining at a little distance from it, this colour is continued along the dorsum blending into a shining silvery grey fascia beyond the middle which is attenuated and recurved upward to the costa, thus enclosing a broad bronzy brown costal patch, its convex lower extremity touching the fold on which it is preceded by a small brown spot. In the silvery fascia is also a small elongate brown spot about the end of the cell. The apical portion of the wing is bronzy brown, with a shining silver-grey costal spot at the commencement of the cilia and a larger shining silver-grey patch arising from the tornus and terminating below and beyond the costal spot. The hindwings are greyish brown. [2]
