Birthana saturata is a moth in the family Immidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1864. It is found on Java.[1]
It is allied to, but quite distinct from Imma caelestis. Adults are larger, and the cilia of both wings are black. The hindwings are without the pale streaks, and have a bluish-white discoidal striga and triangular spots in the interspaces of the terminal area.[2]
