Wagimo signata is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1881. It is found in the Russian Far East (Ussuri, Primor'e), north-eastern and central China, Korea and Japan.^[1]

Adults hatch in the middle of July.

The larvae feed on Quercus species (including Q. dentata, Q. serrata, Q. mongolica, Q. acutissima, and Q. variabilis), as well as . The larva of the first instar bores into the bud. Later intars feed on flowers and fresh leaves. Pupation takes place inside a shelter which the larva nibble out of the bark.^[2]
