Hozbeka anomala is a moth in the Oecophoridae family, and the only species in the genus Hozbeka. It was described by J.F.G. Clarke in 1978. It is found in Chile.[1][2]

The wingspan is about 23 mm. The ground color of the forewings is blackish fuscous, heavily overlaid with white. There is a blackish-fuscous spot at the basal fifth in the cell, followed at the basal third of the cell by a pair of confluent blackish-fuscous spots, followed by a pair of blackish-fuscous spots on the upper vein of the cell. There is a transverse broken blackish-fuscous bar at the end of the cell, extending to the tornus. There is a short blackish-fuscous bar from the apex along the termen. The hindwings are greyish fuscous, except for the cell, which is grey.[3]
