Imma neurota Meyrick, 1906 | |
Imma neurota is a moth in the Immidae family. It was described by Meyrick in 1906. It is found on Borneo.[1]
The wingspan is 16-20 mm. The forewings are dark fuscous with ochreous-yellow markings, in males with a short streak beneath the costa from the base, in females reduced to a basal dot. In females, there is a slender zigzag transverse streak from the costa beyond the middle, reaching three-fourths across the wing, dilated on the costa, in males represented by a transverse series of three small spots or marks, the costal somewhat triangular. A subdorsal dot is found beneath this and the veins posteriorly are marked with fine lines. A slender almost marginal streak is found around the apex and termen to the tornus, broadest at the apex. The hindwings in males have a slight subdorsal groove. They are dark fuscous, lighter towards the base, especially in males. In females, there is a fine pale yellowish almost marginal line around the apex and upper half of the termen.[2]
