Imma xanthomela is a moth of the Immidae family. It is found on Sulawesi.[1]

The wingspan is about 19 mm. The forewings are blackish, with the extreme costal edge yellow on the basal half and orange-yellow subcostal and submedian streaks from near the base to two-fifths, the lower rather broad. There is a large transverse orange-yellow blotch in the lower part of the disc beyond the middle, connected with the middle of the costa by a streak from the anterior angle. The hindwings are blackish, with an elongate orange-yellow spot in the disc, pointed anteriorly.[2]
