Omphisa anastomosalis, the sweetpotato vineborer, is a moth of the family Crambidae. It is widespread, with records including the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Taiwan, Hawaii, Vietnam, China, Japan, Cambodia, Laos, Burma and Thailand.
The wingspan is about 33 mm. Adults have a reddish-brown body and reddish-brown markings on white wings.
The larvae feed on Ipomoea batatas and other Convolvulaceae species. They bore into the main stem and sometimes penetrate the storage roots. The larvae create large tunnels causing hollow cavities in the stem. Infested plants usually have a pile of frass that can be found close to the attacked stem.
Full-grown larvae are 25–30 mm long and pale yellowish white.
The pupa is about 16 mm long and 3 mm wide and nearly cylindrical. It is formed in a slight cocoon in the larval tunnel in the vine. The pupal period lasts 12–16 days.

Omphisa anastomosalis est une espèce de lépidoptères de la famille des Crambidae, à répartition pantropicale. Ce papillon vit principalement sur les plants de patate douce (Ipomoea batatas) et sur d'autres espèces du genre Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae). Les chenilles creusent des galeries dans les tiges, affaiblissant les plantes. Cette espèce est l'un des ravageurs de la patate douce les plus destructeurs dans certains pays d'Asie et du Pacifique[1].
Une source attribue à l'espèce le nom commun de « Foreur des tiges de la patate douce »[2].
