Imma confluens is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931. It is found in Brazil, Venezuela and French Guiana.[1]

The wingspan is 20-24 mm. The forewings are white, irregularly mixed light brownish, and somewhat sprinkled dark brown. There is a subquadrate dark fuscous spot on the costa near the base and a somewhat inwards-oblique dark fuscous fasciate streak from the costa at one-third to the fold, and a small spot on the costa beyond this. A broad dark brown fascia runs from the costa about two-thirds to the dorsum before the tornus, the anterior edge irregularly convex in the disc, the posterior limited by a rather curved suffused dark line. There is a dark brown blotch on the apical half of the termen confluent with the preceding, the suffusion sometimes extending over the whole posterior area. There is also a terminal series of cloudy dark fuscous dots with obscure pale interspaces. The hindwings are dark bronzy fuscous, lighter anteriorly.[2]
