Imma vaticina is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1912. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.[1]
The wingspan is 20–22 mm. The forewings are violet-fuscous with a transverse dark fuscous mark on the end of the cell, in males connected with the dorsum by a direct obscure darker shade, followed by somewhat paler suffusion. The hindwings are hyaline, with the veins dark fuscous. There is a broad fuscous band along the costa and a dark fuscous terminal band, broadest at the apex, with an abrupt projection inwards beneath vein 2, below this abruptly narrow, then with a long wedge-shaped projection on vein 1b. The dorsum is slenderly suffused with fuscous.[2]
The larvae have been recorded feeding on Fenzlia species.[3]
