Imma lichneopa is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Lower in 1903. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]

The wingspan is about 16 mm. The forewings are whitish-fuscous, mixed with dull greenish and with a rather broad black outwardly oblique fascia from one-third of the costa to three-fourths across the wing. There is a fine black dentate line, from the costa at two-fifths to the inner margin at one-third, strongly angulated outwards in the middle. There is a narrow black streak from the costa just before three-fourths to halfway across the wing, then continued as a suffused fascia to the anal angle. There is also a dentate line along the termen. The hindwings are black and thinly scaled.[2]
