Imma chlorosphena Meyrick, 1906
|
Imma chlorosphena is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found in Sri Lanka.[1]
The wingspan is about 15 mm. The forewings are rather dark fuscous, slightly ochreous-tinged, darker posteriorly, the costa and termen suffusedly blackish-fuscous. In males there is an oval impression beneath the costa at two-fifths, containing a tuft of whitish-ochreous scales from the upper margin, covered by a flap of long fuscous scales from the anterior margin. The hindwings are blackish-fuscous, with an elongate wedge-shaped ochreous-whitish spot in the middle of the disc.[2]
