Imma acrognampta Meyrick, 1930
|
Imma acrognampta is a moth of the family Immidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1930. It is endemic to New Guinea.[1]
The wingspan is about 19 millimetres (0.75 in). The forewings are dark fuscous with a slender whitish-yellow median streak from the base to one-fourth and the extreme costal edge is whitish towards the middle. There is a transverse ochreous-whitish postmedian streak, with the extremities bent outwards and indistinct. The hindwings are iridescent blue hyaline with the veins dark fuscous and with a dark fuscous costal band, continued as a broad fascia around the apex and rapidly narrowed with an irregular edge to the middle of the termen, then slender to the tornus, with acute projections on the submedian and subdorsal folds.[2]
