Isoteinon anomoeus, the yellow hopper, is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in West Africa, such as Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo. [2] [1] The preferred habitat of the species consists of wetter forests, with a broken canopy, allowing the development of grassy areas.

Adults of both sexes are attracted to flowers.
