Oxyodes scrobiculata, the longan semi-looper or longan leaf-eating looper, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The common name "looper" is used despite looper moths generally being in the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775. It is found in the Indo-Australian tropics of India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, China, east to Guam, Queensland, New Caledonia, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
